“Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems” (MEfIS) is a four-semester, English-language master’s program designed for bachelor’s degree holders with a solid foundation in mechanical engineering and a strong interest in industrial research, development, and the implementation of solutions to mechanical engineering challenges.

When applying, students must choose one of three possible specializations:
“Industrial Drive Technology”: Drive technology plays a role wherever things move—from machine tools and agricultural machinery to wind power. Drive technology is one of the largest industrial sectors in Germany. This specialization therefore offers the best foundation for a successful career in research and development at one of the more than 250 drive technology companies in Germany, including many “hidden champions.”
“Digital Production Technologies”: Digital manufacturing technologies have become an integral part of modern production. Graduates acquire skills in digital modeling, process simulation, sustainable manufacturing, and the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies into production.
“Advanced Mechanics for Digital Engineering”: This specialization provides comprehensive knowledge in the areas of mechanical modeling, numerical methods, and digital twin simulation. Students learn to mathematically describe and analyze complex systems using simulations. In addition, they acquire skills in optimization, parameter identification, and programming.

In the extensive elective component, students can choose from a list of modules in computer science, electrical and information technology, or select modules from the specializations they did not choose.

An industrial internship, project work, and the master’s thesis round out the program.
