An engineering science
that moves you!
Whenever something moves in a controlled way inside or on technical devices, mechatronics is involved.
As a mechatronics engineer, you program, control, and create the technical requirements and developments of tomorrow. This future-proof engineering degree combines the skills of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and technical computer science.
As a mechatronics engineer, you are qualified to speak all three technical languages, coordinate tasks in interdisciplinary project teams and develop solutions together.
Mechatronics at Hochschule Ruhr West offers you the opportunity to freely tailor your studies starting from the 5th semester with an extensive catalog of elective modules.
What you can expect
As a student in the Mechatronics program, you learn the fundamental natural sciences and engineering principles such as engineering mathematics, physics, programming, mechanics, and materials science. You apply your foundational knowledge directly in practical exercises and laboratory internships under supervision.
It becomes even more application-oriented in the project work: real-world problems from areas such as automation technology, vehicle technology, industrial robot programming, or environmental measurement technology will be your tasks. In individual and team work, you independently manage your project and present the developed solution to the given problem.
We provide you with the necessary overall understanding you need to develop products and processes sustainably, systematically, and efficiently.
Good to know: Language level C1 is required and the language of instruction is German.
The integrated practical semester at the end of the program provides you with relevant practical experience and, after a successful bachelor’s thesis, can enable a direct entry into your desired company.
What you need to bring along
- Language level C1 is required and the language of instruction is German.
- General or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification
- Alternatively: entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or a qualification recognized as equivalent in the course of professional qualification
- Admission free!
