General information about the degree program

The portmanteau word “mechatronics” is a combination of the terms mechanics and electronics - this already reveals that mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field. It combines electrical engineering, computer science and mechanical engineering to create intelligent products from mechanical systems, e.g. anti-lock braking systems, autofocus cameras, computer drives and medical robots. Therefore, mechatronics plays an essential role in all areas of modern technology. Studying mechatronics is ideal for versatile individuals.

The degree program is run jointly by the Faculties of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Science and “Friedrich List” Transport and Traffic Sciences

Upon completion of the degree program, you will be awarded a Diplom certificate. The decision to retain the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) was a well-considered measure. This is because Diplom engineers enjoy a very good reputation worldwide and therefore have excellent career prospects.
