Application period
from 15.11.2025 to 31.08.2026

In the Master's programme in Mechatronics, you will deepen your knowledge in the fields of electronics, mechanics, computer science, and automation – learning how to intelligently network and further develop complex technical systems. You will address current challenges such as the increasing digitalisation of industrial processes, the integration of smart sensors and actuators, as well as the application of artificial intelligence in engineering.

The focus is on the development and implementation of smart, connected systems – from the initial concept through to a fully functional product. You will analyse, simulate, and realise innovative solutions for machines, products, and industrial applications, using state-of-the-art tools and technologies.

By choosing individual specialisations in automation engineering, electronics, mechanical engineering or microsystems technology, you can tailor your profile to your interests – in an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented way, with a strong emphasis on real-world industrial applications.

A Master’s degree in Mechatronics prepares you for high-responsibility roles in industry, research, and development. You will gain in-depth technical expertise, interdisciplinary problem-solving skills, and a strong understanding of the digital transformation of engineering systems.

Career opportunities – potential roles include:

  • Development engineer for intelligent mechatronic systems
  • Project manager in automation or manufacturing engineering
  • Systems engineer in robotics, automotive, or medical technology
  • Research associate at universities or research institutions
  • Specialist in simulation, sensors, actuators, or systems integration
  • Industrial consultant for digitalisation and process optimisation
  • Technology manager in high-tech or innovation-driven companies

You will work on cutting-edge technological solutions, develop interconnected systems, and play an active role in advancing both industry and research. Combining analytical thinking with technical precision, you will help shape efficient, sustainable, and future-ready technologies.

Entry requirements

To be admitted to the Master’s programme in Mechatronics, you must hold a completed Bachelor’s or Diplom degree in Mechatronics or a closely related engineering discipline such as Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering. Your prior degree must have been obtained from a recognised higher education institution and be equivalent to a general university entrance qualification.

In addition, your previous studies should cover essential technical foundations, particularly in the areas of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and programming.

The final decision on admission is made by the programme director based on the relevance and equivalence of your academic qualifications.
