Do you not only want to understand technical interrelationships and solutions, but develop them yourself, from start to finish? Then mechatronics might be your thing. Our interdisciplinary bachelor's degree program will make you fit in electronics, computer science and mechanics. With this know-how, you will design innovative systems – for example for green energy, for smart medical technology or for an innovative automotive industry.
This degree program suits you if ...
- you are curious about electronics, computer science and mechanics,
- you are interested in technology and technical contexts,
- you have solid knowledge in math and physics (which you can refresh in our preliminary courses),
- you enjoy networked thinking and like to develop new things creatively.
About your studies
- At the beginning of your studies, the focus is on the basic science and engineering subjects, such as mathematics, physics, technical mechanics, design and electrical engineering.
- In your second year of study, you will concentrate on the technical subjects and put the knowledge you acquire into practice in laboratories and project phases.
- In your practical semester (third year), you can already work in a company – as you will later in your career – and find out which professional fields suit you.
- You will then deepen your knowledge in typical areas of application of mechatronics, such as automation or automotive mechatronics, and set your own focus through elective modules.
- The bachelor thesis rounds off your studies. After successfully passing the bachelor thesis with colloquium, you will have earned the academic degree "Bachelor of Engineering".
Students may face many challenges. We know this, and we won't leave you to deal with them alone! Whether it's support with learning math and physics, writing lab reports, finding an internship, or simply advice – we are there for you with our wide range of support services (German only). We are also happy to advise you directly: Just contact our STEPS team.
Mechatronics engineers are all-rounders and highly sought-after on the job market – because interdisciplinary work is becoming increasingly important in engineering. Whether in aerospace, automotive engineering, energy, robotics or medical technology, mechatronics specialists are in demand not only in Germany, but internationally. You can find jobs as a development engineer, design engineer or test engineer, for example, and can expect excellent starting salaries.
At Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, we offer you two exciting Master's degrees in mechatronics:
- Our 3-semester Master's program in Mechatronics and Robotics (M.Sc.) deepens your knowledge in the cutting-edge application fields which give the program its name.
- Our Master's program Mechatronics and Automotive Engineering (M.Sc.), also 3 semesters long, is aimed at anyone who wants to advance the automotive industry with innovative ideas.
Admission and enrollment
There are no admission restrictions for this program. Consequently, you do not need to apply, but can enroll directly.
- Due to the English-language teaching components, English language skills at level B1 are important for studying successfully. Our university provides a wide range of compact and study-accompanying English courses through the Language Center, which enable students to close any individual knowledge gaps on their own.
- You should also have a good knowledge of maths and physics to ensure that you can keep pace with your studies. In our preliminary courses (German only) before the start of the semester, you can refresh your knowledge.
