Mechanical engineering is a versatile degree programme with great career prospects

Digitalization, development, new manufacturing processes, design, optimization of machinery, quality assurance of systems, prototype construction, sustainability, and Industry 4.0. With these ingredients, modern mechanical engineering and a diverse study program emerge. You will be trained to become capable mechanical engineers, playing a central role in the global economy and establishing connections with significant companies in the region.

What you can expect

  • A creative and multifaceted degree programme
  • Opportunities to expand your soft skills
  • Project work that challenges your skills
  • Company visits that show you what is possible

 

As an engineer, you will learn the basics of mechanical engineering. You will also immerse yourself in topics such as materials science and corporate management.

Programme content

  • Fundamentals of mechanical engineering
  • Engineering mathematics, materials science, corporate management
  • Examination regulations, module handbook & study plan

Anyone who, in addition to being interested in machines, also enjoys mathematical and scientific questions and has a basic understanding of technical processes, is in the right place to study mechanical engineering. Here you can discover how much know-how and exciting technology is contained in machines, systems and their controls. On the one hand, the course content is characterized by the theoretical basics of engineering, and on the other hand, the world of mechanical engineering is taught - in a practical and application-oriented manner. This is the only way the theoretically imparted knowledge can be quickly incorporated and implemented, e.g. B. in project work with industry.

We have more than just lectures and seminars - at HRW we go out on company visits to get to know potential project partners and employers.
