Details of the degree programme
Deepening
After the foundation course, in which you learn the basics of engineering, and the 5th semester, your practical semester, it's time to get down to business:
The main study programme takes place in the 6th and 7th semesters. During this time, you will deepen your knowledge in a specific subject area. This is why these two semesters are also known as specialisation semesters. You can choose from three specialisations:
- Digital product development
Here you will acquire specialist knowledge in areas such as 3D CAD modelling, FEM calculation, structural optimisation, dynamic simulation and rapid prototyping. You will learn how to create the necessary product models, determine relevant product properties at an early stage and define the right product optimisations - Mechatronics and digitalisation
Here you will learn about the interaction between mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science using current applications. Driver assistance systems, cyber-physical systems, additive manufacturing (3D printing) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are just a few examples of solutions that would not be possible without a sound knowledge of mechatronics. - Smart Production
Here you will learn the basics that will enable you to successfully deal with topics such as Industry 4.0, the digital factory, close collaboration between humans and robots and the pioneering technology of 3D printing in your future career.
Practical learning
Practical learning
We have our excellently equipped laboratories ready for you from the 2nd semester onwards: Computer science, computer-aided design, measurement and control technology are just a few examples.
Here you can learn something hands-on! What you have learnt in theory so far is put into practice here in practical experiments. Listen. Experience. Retain. This not only helps you to better understand the theory, but also prepares you fabulously for your practical semester and your future career.
#practical - we stick to it!

Smart technology needs clever minds like you
Do you enjoy technology and are you interested in IT? Do you want to learn how modern machines are created and how to make them even smarter with digital technologies? Then Digital Engineering Mechanical Engineering is the right degree programme for you!
Here you will learn how to combine classic engineering knowledge with digital tools and IT expertise - exactly what companies need in times of digitalisation and Industry 4.0. Whether smart products, digital factories or automated processes - you will learn how to develop machines, use data intelligently and design digital systems. You will combine mechanics, computer science and modern technologies such as simulation and virtual reality. With your Bachelor's degree in your pocket, you will be the interface between mechanical engineering and IT - and therefore fit for the future of industry.
And if you're still worried about maths - no problem: you can still get started with our MathsLift programme. Just take a look under "Useful links".
