Mechatronics – dual (Bachelor)

They should be curious enough to want to get to the bottom of things. And you should also have the determination to solve tricky questions. We take an interest in electronic, mechanical and mathematics issues for granted. What is also important is to be able to think outside the box and consider the bigger picture. After all, mechatronics engineers have to solve complex tasks. And that requires one thing above all: teamwork. If you are interested in technology but don't want to miss out on working with other people, this is the right place for you.

The standard duration of studies for the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechatronics is seven semesters. The study programme is divided into four semesters comprising basic university studies and the three-semester specialisation course that builds on this. In line with the career orientation of the study programme, the content passes modules in information technology, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.

While only compulsory modules are offered in the first four semesters, you set your own individual specialisation in the fifth and sixth semesters by choosing compulsory elective modules and individual project work. In the final 7th semester, you will acquire additional practical skills in the professional appointment process during the 15-week practical placements and provide evidence of your ability to solve problems independently with your Bachelor's thesis.

If you study mechatronics in the dual study programme, extensive practical placements are integrated into your studies (note: no training as a mechatronics technician). At the end of your university studies, you will therefore not only have the theoretical knowledge from the lectures and seminars at the university, but will also already be familiar with working life in a profession or in a specific industry. The dual study programme offers many advantages: The knowledge from the seminars and practice classes can be used directly in practice and after your university studies you can start your professional career with good career opportunities. A dual study programme is also financially worthwhile, as you will usually receive a monthly remuneration from your practical placement partner.
