The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
Mechatronics master graduates work primarily in the area of research and development, whereby interesting perspectives are also offered in testing or sales. The future job can range from a large corporation, a larger or smaller medium-sized enterprise to small, independent engineering companies. Due to the broad interdisciplinary and system-oriented training, mechatronics engineers are demanded in many areas. At this point, only a few industries should be mentioned:

- vehicle, railway and aircraft technology
- medical technology
- machine tools and robotics
- consumer goods, household and environmental technology
- microtechnology
- power engineering
- office and computer technology
- ..
and, of course, all young and innovative industries that develop the modern and flexible products of tomorrow.

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 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.
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.
