The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering prepares you for a career in which you will make a significant contribution to the technological solutions of our time. In this versatile degree program, you will acquire comprehensive knowledge in the development, design and production of modern machines and systems. Not only will you be trained as a technical expert, but you will also acquire the ability to think creatively and sustainably - a combination that will make you a valuable driver of innovation in a wide range of industrial sectors.
Your engineering profile for industry
On the mechanical engineering degree course, you will develop skills that are indispensable for modern industrial companies:
The course combines traditional engineering knowledge with future-oriented technologies and teaches you both theoretical principles and practical application skills. You will apply your knowledge directly in state-of-the-art laboratories and through practical projects and develop a deep understanding of mechanical engineering challenges. The close cooperation with regional and national companies also gives you valuable insights into professional practice and creates contacts for your future career path.
With this degree course, you can choose between the regular Bachelor's degree course or the dual KIA (sandwich-style) degree course.
The KIA (sandwich-style) degree course is very good for future students who want to combine theory and practice. In addition to theoretical specialist knowledge, you will also acquire practical vocational training and at the end of your studies you will not only receive a Bachelor's degree, but also a Chamber of Industry and Commerce certificate.

Your mechanical engineering degree begins with a solid grounding in the basic science and engineering subjects. In the first few semesters, you will concentrate on subjects such as engineering mathematics, technical mechanics and materials technology, which will form the foundation for your future specialist knowledge.
As your studies progress, you will deepen your knowledge in the core mechanical engineering areas of design, production and materials technology. You will become familiar with modern calculation methods and develop a deep understanding of machine dynamics processes. The fifth semester is a practical semester where you can apply your theoretical knowledge in a company. Your studies are rounded off with compulsory elective modules, which allow you to set your own individual focus, and the Bachelor's thesis, in which you work independently on a specific mechanical engineering problem.
Practical semester
Design and development
You design innovative machines and systems from the initial concept to production readiness. Using state-of-the-art CAD systems, you will design components, optimize their properties and ensure smooth functionality in the overall system.
Manufacturing technology
You plan and optimize production processes for maximum efficiency and quality. You will select suitable manufacturing processes, implement automation solutions and develop new technologies for production.
Quality management
You ensure compliance with high quality standards through systematic testing procedures and continuous improvement processes. You analyze the causes of errors and develop measures to improve quality.
Technical sales
You advise customers on complex technical solutions and customized machine systems. You understand both the technical details and the economic framework conditions and develop tailor-made offers.
Project management
You coordinate major technical projects from planning to commissioning. You keep an eye on deadlines, costs and resources and ensure smooth communication between all parties involved.
Research and innovation
You will work on pioneering technologies such as additive 3D manufacturing or resource-saving production processes. You will design experiments, evaluate results and contribute to the continuous development of mechanical engineering.
