Important information

Please note that not all information is translated. Please refer to the german version for complete information.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to the degree program, applicants must have completed a general university entrance qualification (Abitur) or a comparable university entrance qualification.

German language requirements

International applicants and German applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification are kindly advised to read the requirements for German-language courses.

Information regarding Studienkolleg

Applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification that does not grant them direct access to university education in Germany pursuant to the qualification comparability regulations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs must attend a Preparatory College (Studienkolleg) prior to studying. You can acquire the subject-specific university entrance qualification here. Further information can be found on the website of the Preparatory College (Studienkolleg).
This degree program relates to the following specialized course at the Studienkolleg:

General information about the degree program

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering development approach that solves mechanically oriented tasks through spatial and functional integration of mechanical, electrical and information processing subsystems.

At the TU Dresden, the study programme in Mechatronics is an integrated five-year (single-tier) programme leading to a Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) degree. The programme thus includes the Bachelor as well as the Master level. The Diplom degree is equivalent to the Master’s degree.

The programme is modularly structured. It is divided into four semesters of basic studies and six semesters of advanced studies, including a 20-week internship in industry.

During the basic studies (1st–4th semesters), the fundamentals of mathematics and natural sciences as well as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science are taught. Having passed the basic studies, the student receives the intermediate exam certificate (Vordiplom-Zeugnis).

During the advanced studies (5th–10th semester), mandatory modules in field theory, power electronics, control engineering, drive engineering, measurement and sensor technology and embedded controllers have to be attended. In addition to the mandatory modules, the student choses elective modules to specialise in his/her area of interest. Recommended module combinations guide the students to one of the following profiles:

- Vehicle mechatronics (e.g. multi-body systems, motor vehicles, combustion engines, electrified mobility)
- Mechatronics in mechanical engineering (e.g. hydraulics/pneumatics, machine construction, robotics, mobile work machines)
- Macromechatronics (e.g. electric drive technology, control engineering, railway vehicles, aerospace engineering)
- Micromechatronics (e.g. electronic systems and technology, process control engineering, biomedical engineering, micro-electro-mechanical-systems, sensors)
