Master Mechanical Engineering

The Master's degree programme integrates in-depth knowledge from core areas of mechanical engineering – such as mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, materials and manufacturing science, control systems, and product development – with mathema­tics, computer science, physics, chemistry and biology.

This integration is essential for multidisciplinary areas, for example, robotics, micro and nanotechnologies, production systems, and energy systems. The students develop and apply tools ranging from computer simulation to advanced experimen­tal techniques in order to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying phenomena and processes.

Products and systems created by engineers have the potential to significantly affect society. The social context in which mechanical engineering is practised and its broad interdependencies are reflected in complementary courses in economics, organisation and management, political science, and humanities.
