    Programme content

    The degree programme comprises six theoretical semesters and a practical semester in the fifth semester. In the first three semesters, students learn the basic sciences, such as engineering mathematics, materials science and design, which are deepened in the fourth semester. From the fourth semester onwards, students choose a specialisation. The programme concludes in the seventh semester with the completion of a Bachelor's thesis, whereby the practical training takes place outside the university in industrial companies and technical institutions, supervised by the university and supplemented by practical courses.

    Internship and pre-study work experience

    The Mechanical Engineering degree programme places particular emphasis on practical teaching content. It emphasises the implementation of project work, engineering internships and practical semesters. The final thesis is usually written in a company, which gives students the opportunity to apply their acquired knowledge directly in industrial practice. The pre-study work placement, which takes place before the regular course of study, provides a wide range of insights into various branches of industry and makes a significant contribution to academic development by deepening students' practical understanding.
