The Master's degree program in Electrical Engineering / Mechatronics qualifies you for challenging tasks at the forefront of technological innovation. By choosing between the specializations of mechatronics or smart grids and installations, you will specialize in future-oriented fields of technology. You will acquire in-depth specialist knowledge that will enable you to understand, develop and optimize complex electrical engineering systems - a decisive advantage in a world that is increasingly shaped by intelligent, networked technologies.
Future-oriented specialization options
Depending on your chosen specialization, you will develop advanced skills in these key areas:
You will learn how modern electrical engineering systems are designed, implemented and operated. The mechatronics specialization enables you to develop innovative solutions at the interface of mechanics, electronics and computer science. With a focus on smart grids and installations, you will become an expert in the energy systems of the future. Particularly attractive: the mechatronics specialization can be completed as a double-degree program in cooperation with a Czech university. The English-language third semester also offers you the opportunity to spend a semester abroad.
