What is it?

The cooperative engineering degree program in Mechatronics (KIS-ME) offers you a comprehensive university education in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and information technology. System interfaces will be taught, with a great deal of hands-on learning. 

A characteristic of the hands-on learning is the professional experience or vocational training in a partner company which is to be completed parallel to the degree program. Depending on the specialization in the fields of mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or electrical engineering, there are elective modules in the degree program. 

The blend of full-time work or vocational training and part-time employment during your studies provides consistent financial support throughout the program. During the semester break and outside the regular statutory vacation times, you will be working full-time in the partner company.

The degree program only accepts prospective students who have signed a work contract or vocational training contract with a cooperating partner company. The degree program is also open to students who have already completed a technical professional or vocational training program, in collaboration with a cooperating partner company.

What can I do with it?

With the challenges of globalization and Industry 4.0, engineers’ professional field is changing continuously and at an ever-faster rate. In addition to the continuing need for specific specialist knowledge, a holistic understanding of development and production processes (system thinking) is becoming increasingly important, not only in technical terms, but also from a business, methodological, social and cultural point of view. Graduates of the degree program have a wide range of professional opportunities in all technically oriented sectors and areas of business:

  • as planning and project engineers in plant, electrical and mechanical engineering for mechatronic systems, in automotive engineering and in the consumer goods industry,
  • in project planning, development, production, quality assurance, controlling and sales,
  • in systems engineering, automation, process engineering, logistics.
