The digital transformation is fundamentally changing our industrial world. As a Diplom engineer in automation and mechatronics, you will be at the center of this exciting development and actively help shape the next industrial revolution. Our modular degree program offers you a future-oriented education that takes your individual interests into account with its three specializations in mechatronics, automation technology/Industry 4.0 and control and safety technology.
Acquire future-oriented skills
On this degree course, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in the following core areas:
You will learn how networked systems communicate and interact - from autonomous vehicles and industrial robots to intelligent building technology. The practice-oriented concept with laboratory experiments in small groups, direct supervision by professors and an integrated practical semester will give you the best possible start to your career. The Diplom thesis in the 8th semester rounds off your studies and forms the bridge to your professional future.

Your path to becoming a Diplom engineer is clearly structured and combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills. In the first three semesters, you will first acquire the engineering basics in areas such as mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanics and computer science. This foundation is consolidated through accompanying seminars and practical exercises in small groups, which guarantees individual support.
From the fourth semester onwards, you will deepen your knowledge depending on your chosen specialization. You can choose from the following specializations: Mechatronics, Automation Technology/Industry 4.0 or Control and Safety Technology. The sixth semester is designed as an internship semester and allows you to gain valuable professional experience and establish contacts with industry. Advanced topics such as machine learning and project management await you in the seventh semester, before you successfully complete your studies with your Diplom thesis in the eighth semester.
