study content

During your studies, you will deal with topics such as robotics, image recognition, combustion engines and microcomputer programmes. You also have the opportunity to specialize in general mechatronics or energy mechatronics. The field of energy mechatronics includes renewable energies, heat storage and cooling technology. Theoretically conveyed content can be put into practice directly in our laboratories and thus internalized. A one-semester internship and exciting project work will also give you a deeper insight into your future professional life.

 Study objectives of the bachelor’s degree in mechatronics are:

• the teaching of a solid engineering foundation in the field of mechatronics with a focus on general mechatronics and performance mechatronics, on the basis of which the students are to be enabled to work independently in a professional field;
• the qualification for admission to a master's degree in relevant fields.

study programme

The courses of the degree programme are listed below. The numbers indicate the scope of the event per week (SWS) or the credit points that you receive for successfully participating in the event. There are 210 in total credit points to acquire. You can find out more about the content of the individual events in the module handbook.

Good to know: This course can also be studied in the GettING Started version from the winter semester 2024/25. The programme Getting Started offers a more flexible start to studies through a standard period of study that is two semesters longer (funded by BAföG) and through professional and individualized help when starting your studies.

The detailed study programme can be found in module manual.

Dual study variants (IS+I and IS+A)

Dual study variant (IS+I)

Study and industrial practice (IS+I) is a dual study model of the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen at the Friedberg Study. The focus is on the direct integration of industrial practice in the partner company and lecture units in the mechatronics course at the university. With balanced time phases in the partner company and at the THM , the practical relevance is particularly promoted and the optimal career entry (usually directly in the partner company) is prepared for both sides. The special promotion of duals IS+I students at the THM with many offers supports a good and quick degree as a Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.). IS+I is a study variant with well over 100 partner companies and many successful graduates for decades.

Advantages for IS+I students:

• IS+I combines a broad mechatronics degree with professional experience in company practice
• IS+I enables the direct application of the learned theory in projects in the company and thus motivates them throughout their studies
• IS+I offers basic financial security over the entire period of studies.
• IS+I offers a safe entry into professional life.
• IS+I promotes an above -average study success (duration and final grade) through a wide range of offers and also provides further interdisciplinary skills for further personal development

Training -integrating study variant (IS+A)

Study and training (IS+A) is a dual study model of the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen at the Friedberg Study. It offers company vocational training and a university degree in the package. In around 4 years, graduates will reach a professional qualification as an industrial mechanic with a focus on operating technology and a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) university degree in one of the two attractive, 7-semester Degree Courses mechanical engineering or mechatronics.

Advantages for IS+A students:

• IS+A combines a broad mechatronics degree with vocational training as an industrial mechanic, so that graduates have a particularly broad range of competence and two training courses.
• IS+A thus offers a future-proof double training, which is very desired in many companies
• IS+A offers basic financial security over the entire duration of the study and a secure first entry into professional life.
• IS+I promotes an above -average study success (duration and final grade) through a wide range of offers and also provides further interdisciplinary skills for further personal development

You can find all further information on the Page of the dual study variants.

Bilingual study variant (German and English)

In the Mechatronics course, for international students there is the opportunity to complete the course in a bilingual variant:

• Study the first 4 semesters in English
• Learn German in parallel - without additional costs
• After 4 semesters (2 years), switch to German -language courses
• Complete with a fully recognized German bachelor's degree
• Extended duration of studies: 9 semesters instead of 7 - for a smooth linguistic integration

With your knowledge of German and technical skills, you are optimally prepared for activity in a German company!

All others Information on the bilingual study variant.

perspectives

After the successful completion, you have the chance to work in many different professional fields. Whether in the automotive industry, in medical technology, aircraft construction or in small and medium -sized companies, whether in production, development or sales - in almost every area and at almost every place there are companies that are urgently looking for mechatronics engineers. With the megatrends of "digitization" and the "artificial intelligence", the need for appropriately trained graduates will increase even further, since new fields of activity are being opened up.
