Mechatronics and Automation (Work-intеgratеd)

The English-taught study program Mechatronics and Automation (MAP) addresses students of all nationalities, offering an ideal opportunity to learn “technology made in Germany.” The work-integrated program is intended to appeal to those who want an early insight into and first-hand experience of how companies work.  

Combining elements from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, this program enables students to enhance technical systems’ performance during their development and production. In addition, they will learn how to bring complex technical systems into operation, to service and optimize them. During the work term, students will apply their theoretical knowledge to current tasks in the company. To round off the training, strong project management skills and successful teamwork are imparted in international teams.

Students enrolled in the work-integrated study program are at the same time employed by a company in Germany or abroad throughout the entire duration of their studies, which is the peculiarity of the work-integrated program. This allows them to grow into the company from the very beginning and to combine academic training with professional practice. The aim is to apply the knowledge learned in theory to practice and vice versa.

As the program is taught in English, intercultural aspects are embedded into its contents, and students from different cultural backgrounds work together, students are enabled to work on international company projects in an increasingly globalized world. In addition, the English-language program is intended to prepare international students for the German labor market and to facilitate their access to it.
