What you'll study
24 months — core foundations, then a track of your choice, then a thesis.
Especially in industrialized nations like Germany, digitization requires fundamental adjustments to development and production processes. The advancement of intelligent, networked, and flexible mechatronic and robotic systems is a key driver of innovation. Students of the Master’s degree program in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Biomechanical Engineering (M.Sc.) learn to understand, design, and construct such systems according to specific requirements. The program has a strong interdisciplinary focus. It operates at the interface between mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. Students deal with questions of control and circuit technology, numerical simulation of mechanical structures, programming, software development and machine learning, or human-machine interaction. They can specialize in digital mechatronic systems, control of complex systems, engineering mechanics, or biomechatronics. They develop a holistic perspective that enables them to design and operate technologically innovative, adaptable, and resource-efficient complete mechatronic systems. Graduates of the degree program are holistically trained and reflective engineers. As interdisciplinary leaders, they have proven expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and information technology. They are experts in the application-oriented, human-centered, and technically ambitious development of complete mechatronic and robotic systems. They are, therefore, excellently qualified for further scientific work as well as for responsible tasks in industrial research and development.
