Mechatronics, B.Sc.
Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary engineering science relating to Electrical Engineering / Electronics, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. The term mechatronics has become established worldwide and has become a trademark of interdisciplinary approaches in the development, production and marketing of complex system products.
For this reason, the students of this degree program are taught interdisciplinary competencies and a method-oriented way of working. They receive the necessary skills for the development of mechatronic systems in the automotive industry, production technology, medical device technology and other areas. Other important fields of application for mechatronics today are biomechatronics and micro-mechatronics / microsystem technology, which in Ilmenau are the emphases of the training in addition to the mechatronic system design. They create the connection to the life sciences and micro- and nanotechnology, which rely on interdisciplinarity and systemic thinking.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Application | Directly to the university |
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 universitySend 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.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
