Master Mechatronics & Robotics (M.Eng.)

The Master's program in Mechatronics & Robotics comprises three semesters of full-time study, with the first two held in person. Enrollment takes place annually for the winter semester. During the first two semesters, students complete six courses, each worth 5 ECTS credits (totaling 30 credits per semester). All modules conclude with an end-of-semester examination. The modules are assigned to three subject areas: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and practical engineering work. The mechatronics workshop in the second semester is a particular highlight. The third semester is dedicated to the Master's thesis. The thesis may be completed as part of a practice-oriented project within a company; in this case, students are responsible for selecting the topic and establishing contact with the company. Alternatively, the thesis topic may be assigned by the academic departments.
However, supervision is provided by a professor from the relevant department, in accordance with the student's chosen specialization. The program concludes with a colloquium (oral defense).
