The field of mechatronics is integral to the development of innovative and future oriented products and systems. Nearly all capital and consumer products contain mechatronic components and require precision engineering. The high tech branch has a special place in the economy of Bavaria. The regions of Upper Bavaria and Munich, with the Munich University of Applied Sciences at their heart, are home to a broad range of firms in the branches of data processing, radio, television and information technologies, electrical products, aerospace and space industries are all located in this area. All of them are increasingly dependent upon mechatronic products and the miniaturization of components in their products and processes. Equally well represented in the region are automobile manufacturers and their suppliers as well as enterprises engaged in medical, metrics, control systems, cybernetics and optics. Mechatronic products and production systems are becoming ever more important in these fields and contribute significantly to their economic growth.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | The requirement for acceptance into the Master´s Program is a diploma from either an accredited German university, with the mark "gut" or better or the equivalent from an accredited foreign university in the fields of natural science or engineering. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | uni-assist (VPD) + the university, winter semester until 15.06, summer semester until 15.01 |
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.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.01uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
