Mechatronics (B.Sc.) | Drive Technology *in accreditation

Bachelor’s degree program

The course combines knowledge from the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science in order to develop and optimize complex systems and devices. Students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design modern technologies such as drive systems. The program prepares students for a variety of career opportunities in industry, particularly in their chosen field of specialization. It also sets itself apart from programs at other universities by thinking outside the box and providing fundamental insights into the management of technologies, the relationship between technology and society as well as soft skills relevant to the profession (presentation techniques, teamwork, time and self-management).

After completing the course, students will be able to analyze, evaluate and optimize mechatronic systems with the help of scientific theories, principles and methods. You will be able to design technical solutions efficiently and sustainably in national and international industrial companies, research institutions and development departments.
