The Diplom degree program in Mechanical Engineering prepares you for a fascinating world of technical innovation. You will learn to design, calculate and implement complex machines and systems - always with an eye on efficiency, sustainability and future-oriented technologies. From the initial idea to the finished product, you will develop the ability to find creative solutions to the technical challenges of our time.
Acquire a wide range of skills
On the mechanical engineering degree course, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in these key areas:
You will learn how machines and systems work, how they are optimally designed and how modern production systems work efficiently. The specialization options in engineering design or production technology allow you to deepen your personal interests. The practical course with laboratory experiments, projects and a practical semester not only provides you with theoretical knowledge, but also valuable practical experience. The Diplom thesis in the 8th semester rounds off your studies with a challenging project.

The Diplom degree course in mechanical engineering takes you step by step from basic engineering knowledge to specialized technical knowledge. In the first semesters, the focus is on mathematics, physics, mechanics, thermodynamics and materials engineering - these basics form the foundation for all other technical subjects.
From the fourth semester onwards, you will deepen your knowledge in the core areas of mechanical engineering such as design theory, machine elements and quality management. You will spend the fifth semester as a practical semester in a company, where you will gain your first professional experience and make contacts. In the higher semesters, you can choose between specializing in engineering design or production technology. While engineering design focuses on topics such as structural dynamics and machine design, production engineering focuses on material flow technology, industrial robots and advanced manufacturing processes. Numerous compulsory elective modules also allow you to set your own individual focus.
