Mechanical Systems Engineering

The industry is evolving and looking for doers who think digitally. Today, there is a demand for experts who combine technical knowledge with skills in computer applications, simulation, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. We prepare you for exactly that. 

This program is right for you if you…

• come from abroad, have a good command of English, and want to work in German industry. Because that’s where engineers are needed. So, top career opportunities await you.

• are from a German-speaking country and are looking for a program that gives you an international edge. An English-language degree is a real career booster!

• are looking for a combination of mechanical engineering and digitalization. Your entire program is focused on simulation, data analysis, computer applications, and modern engineering tools.

Here’s what it’s all about:

• Understanding technology: In the first semesters, you’ll learn the engineering basics—such as mathematics, materials science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, programming, and design & CAD—as tools for your ideas.

• Specialization & applying: Starting in the 3rd semester, you’ll directly apply modern virtual engineering methods such as simulation and data analysis. You’ll master mechatronics, use digital tools for mechanical engineering, and add future-oriented skills like AI and digital engineering to your repertoire.

• Set Your Own Focus: You’ll refine your profile through required electives and decide in which areas you want to become an expert.

• Communicate without borders: While international students learn German (from beginner level A1 to the B2 certificate), German-speaking students choose additional foreign languages or pursue specialization in elective courses. This way, you’re all ready for a global career and can pursue specialization in areas that interest you.

• Theory in action: In small groups, you’ll work directly in our many teaching and research labs. Whether it’s the humanoid robot Sweaty, the efficiency marvel Schluckspecht, or the BFFT’s electric race car, knowledge comes to life here.

• Hands-on experience: You’ll spend your 5th semester directly in industry. You’ll also typically write your bachelor’s thesis in the 7th semester at a company, allowing you to build valuable industry contacts even while you’re still a student.
