Annotation
The Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, including the Master's thesis, leads to the internationally recognised degree "Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering" in only three semesters. The two specialisations "Product Development" and "Energy Technology" are offered as options.
In addition to classic lectures, problem- and project-oriented forms of teaching are used in particular. Building on the knowledge learned in the Bachelor's degree, the technical and scientific method of working is consolidated in a practical and research-oriented manner. The students acquire and deepen competencies in the areas of Construction, Manufacturing, Calculation, Simulation and Energy Technology as well as problem solving and presentation techniques.
