The Bachelor's programme in Mechatronics at SRH University gives you a clear understanding of the relevant disciplines of mechatronics, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Apart from brushing up necessary skills in mathematics, physics, and statistics, you get to deepen your programming knowledge and practice your intercultural and communication skills.

You will be able to design complete solutions for electromechanical systems and know how to implement the associated control systems, e.g. by using microcontrollers. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to dive into exciting emerging fields such as automotive mechatronics, robotics, machine learning and smart manufacturing.

As a Bachelor of Engineering student, you will learn agile methods, do extensive lab work and work on hands-on projects with companies. In addition, you'll receive the “Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certificate Program (SMSCP)” certification at level 1-2.

As a Bachelor of Engineering graduate, you are qualified for challenging jobs in energy and environmental, process, mechanical and plant engineering, and work for the automotive industry and its suppliers, as well as the medical devices industry.

Choose from the following career paths:

• Industrial development (planning, calculation, design and testing of technical plants, products and systems)
• Production (planning, manufacturing, operation and monitoring of technical and process facilities and systems, testing of products and processes, quality assurance)
• Marketing and sales of technical systems, plants and products
• Management activities in the manufacturing industry, private sector companies and public authorities

The English-language Bachelor's programme in Mechatronics offers a comprehensive curriculum combining theory and hands-on projects. You start with basics such as maths, physics, engineering drawing & design and programming. In the following semesters, you will deepen your knowledge of electronics, microcontrollers and measurement technology while practical laboratory units and team projects further develop your skills. Modern technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and Smart Manufacturing are also a focus of the curriculum. Additionally, you will receive the prestigious Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certificate (SMSCP) at levels 1-2.

This study programme perfectly prepares you for the real world through internships, research projects and a company project. The modules are designed to help you develop a deep understanding of crucial topics ranging from robotics, embedded systems and drive technologies to cloud technologies.
