Mechanical Engineering - Applied Engineering
What is it about?
Starting Wintersemester 2026/2027
In the Mechanical Engineering specialization of our Applied Engineering Sciences degree program, you’ll be involved in the planning, development, design, and manufacturing of machines, plants, and technical systems. You’ll learn foundational skills in mathematics, physics, and natural sciences, allowing you to solve technical problems and optimize systems.
Over the course of your studies, you’ll be able to specialize further. Specialist areas include energy technology, renewable energies, drive engineering, automotive engineering, production engineering, product development, simulation, and/or aeronautical engineering.
What can I do with it?
As a mechanical engineer, you can find a role in many industries. Examples include:
- Mechanical and plant engineering
- Automotive industry
- Aerospace
- Energy supply
- Medical engineering.
Potential career avenues include research and development, design, production, sales, and management.
Theory alone isn't your thing? In the practice-integrated track, you'll work at a partner company. You'll gain practical experience and earn your own money.
With the flexible Time4ing option, you can spread the courses from the first three semesters over five semesters. This means you’ll have fewer subjects and examinations per semester during this phase. This gives you more time to focus on important core courses such as mathematics, physics, and Computer Science. You’ll also benefit from an extended BAfög funding period.
