Mechanical Engineering
B.Sc.
Overview
In semester 1 to 4 you will learn the fundamentals in mathematics, technical mechanics, material science, thermodynamics… . You acquire profound broad and deep knowledge in nature and engineering science and competences to apply scientific methods. Afterwards, in semesters 5 and 6, students create their own study plan and can choose a specialization (e. g. medical engineering, robotics, automotive engineering, energy technology, management, aviation) or deepen their engineering scientific expertise intersectorial. This means you are able to put together your individual study plan relating to your personal interests by selecting teaching sessions from an extensive study catalogue.
After that you are able to work together in an interdisciplinary team, to do research and to apply methods in practice.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
After completing the foundation courses, you will be able
- to understand the essential concepts of mathematics, physics, chemistry an technical electric science, to describe relevant processes both qualitatively and mathematically quantitatively, and to use laws and formulas to define problems,
- to use this fundamental knowledge in engineering-specific basic subjects, such as technical mechanics, technical drawings, machine elements and information technology in order to formulate and solve mechanical questions (e. g. determine and analyze real-time systems for specific control systems, develop solutions for the construction of parts which are suitable for production, stress and assembly, modelling of uncertainties)
- to use methods from material science, control engineering, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transmission, control engineering (e. g. selection of suitable materials, analyze and evaluate the system in view of the heat transmission, describe, analyze and configure dynamically active influenced systems)
Depending on the individually chosen courses in the 5th and 6th semester, you will be able to apply the specific methods and to possibly use independently developed solutions in practice (e. g. application of mechanisms of industrial realtime bus- and operating systems, characterization of novel electrical concepts in vehicles, development and evaluation of thermal solar collectors and photovoltaic systems, …).
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
If you decide to embark upon a professional career upon concluding the bachelor's program in Mechanical Engineering, then opportunities arise in many and various areas. These include mechanical, plant and vehicle engineering as well as, equally, the aerospace sector or associated suppliers and service providers.
Structure
Six semesters are normally required to complete the Bachelor degree course in Mechanical Engineering. These are divided into a foundation course (semesters 1 – 4) and a specialization course (semesters 5 – 6):
- In the foundation course each semester has a set syllabus with lectures and practical work which can be augmented with tutorial sessions (small study groups with individual supervision).
- In semesters 5 and 6 students choose the lectures and workshops they attend, according to their interests and abilities, from a wide range on offer. This opens the door to a particular specialization or a broadly-based qualification in engineering science.
- The degree course is completed with a project work (project seminar or internship in industry), soft skill workshops and the Bachelor’s Thesis.

Admissions
Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure evaluating your ability to successfully manage the particular qualitative requirements of the bachelor’s program.
In the first stage, your overall secondary school grades, your grades in subject-specific courses, and any relevant practical experience or additional qualifications will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
Students who earned their higher education entrance qualification in a non-German language school in another country and whose native language is not German must take part in an admissions interview to assess their subject-specific language skills.
