About this program
Mechanical engineering is about devising, designing, analyzing, making and improving technological solutions, from large scale to below nanometer level.
In the Master's degree program Mechanical Engineering you learn to apply concepts and models to complex engineering issues arising in science and industry. Teaching and research are closely integrated within this program. You are kept aware of the latest developments in the discipline. You become familiar with all the latest tools and technologies. The Master's Program of Mechanical Engineering consists of three research clusters, each with its own research area. At the start of your master's program, you choose one of these clusters, namely Dynamical Systems Design (DSD), Computational and Experimental Mechanics (CEM) of Thermo Fluids Engineering (TFE). The specialization you choose is an important point of focus in your master's program. The first year is dedicated to a core program, specialization courses, professional skills and electives. Most of the second year is dedicated to an internship and graduation project.
The Master's program Mechanical Engineering is an excellent starting point for an interesting career: the department works intensively with many large and smaller high-tech companies.
