The Master's degree program in Mechatronics and Automation imparts broad knowledge in the fields of control engineering, robotics and automation. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, graduates of this Master's degree are particularly suited to careers at the interface between classical mechanics, electrical engineering and information technology. They play a key role in facilitating good cooperation between different departments in the automotive industry, production engineering, robotics or drive development. Based on this holistic yet focused course of study, graduates are primarily geared towards research and development. The Master's degree also entitles graduates to do a doctorate.
The compulsory modules comprise 17 credit points (CP) and include topics from robotics, control engineering, automation and signal processing. Three further credit points are covered by a laboratory, while the extensive compulsory elective section with 28 credit points offers the opportunity to strongly individualize the Master's degree course. Six credit points from this area are allocated to general mechanical engineering, while the other 22 credit points are additionally taken from a list of modules from mechanical engineering and the departments of electrical engineering, information technology and computer science. The project work and the Master's thesis, with twelve and 30 credit points respectively, offer students the opportunity to demonstrate their own scientific approach.
