Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems, M.Eng.
The consecutive master's programme "Mechatronic and Cyber-Physical Systems" enables undergraduates of Mechatronics or other related fields of study to deepen their knowledge and understanding of networked systems in Digital Production. Modern Simulation Systems, Cooperative and Autonomous Systems, Innovative Human-Machine Interfaces and Additive Manufacturing Processes are covered within four technologically-oriented study units. Two interdisciplinary study units allow for the treatment of specific application fields of Cyber-Physical Systems as well as the Functional Safety of software-based control and automation systems.

The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

In the near future, intelligent, self-controlling, sensor-supported and networked production systems will enable nearly self-organised production in the "Smart Factory". In addition to this Industrial Internet of Things (IOT), robots on the other side of the spectrum are even gradually beginning to conquer social areas. Many surgical procedures are already robot-assisted today, and even within the healthcare sector, attempts are being made to make measures technically more effective or to replace skilled personnel missing with robots. The field of automation, digitalisation and robotics has an enormous bandwidth, and development is progressing at breathtaking speed.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.01Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
