In the Mechanical Engineering bachelor's degree programme, the fundamental topics of mechanical engineering are taught at a demanding level. In addition, in-depth knowledge can be acquired in individual selected technical subjects. The interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programmes in mechatronics and industrial engineering (specialising in mechanical engineering) are conducted in close cooperation with the faculties of electrical engineering and information technology, aerospace engineering and economics, respectively.

Every year, we are pleased about the many new students who choose our degree programmes. Special mentoring programmes and dedicated contact persons help to master the initial challenges of studying. We wish all our students successful studies and a wonderful time here with us at FH Aachen!
