Mechatronics (B.Sc.)

The standard length of study is six semesters with a total of 180 ECTS credit points. All university modules have a scope in the size of a multiple of 5 ECTS credit points.

The study of Mechatronics Bachelor’s degree program contains mathematical-natural scientific basic subjects (e.g. Mathematics, Physics) in the first semesters. Other modules are associated to three pillars:

• Mechanics (statics, dynamics, mechanics of deformable bodies, design for mechatronics), Electrical Engineering (electrical engineering, electronics, circuit technology, digital technology, electrical machines, power electronics),
• Computer Science (computer science, SW engineering, communication networks, microcomputer technology, embedded systems) and
• the connecting System Technology (modeling and simulation of mechatronic systems, measuring technology, regulation technology, control technology). 

Modules with comprehensive, non-technical content (e.g., English, business administration, project management) provide a view across subject boundaries. Two compulsory elective modules allow individual orientation.

Finally, interdisciplinary thinking and acting are central in a module (Handling and robotics) and the Mechatronics project in the fifth semester, as well as in the internship phase and the Bachelor thesis in the final semester.

The degree program concludes with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) title.
