Henry Ford was a born engineer. At the age of fifteen, he built his first internal combustion engine. Years later, his concept of modern vehicle manufacturing revolutionized industrial production. But challenges and solutions are not a question of era. In the age of digitalization, we need creative and responsible engineers more urgently than ever to design and build machines that meet today's requirements.

The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is suitable for all first-year students who want to develop future-oriented technical solutions to drive innovation in industry, business and science. In addition to your passion for technical devices and systems, you should have manual skills, a good capacity for abstraction and a willingness to work in a group.
Two specializations to choose from
In the foundation course, you will acquire basic scientific and technical knowledge. In the specialist degree course,
you have the option of specializing in construction or production technology.
Major 1: Design engineering
In the design engineering specialization, you will deepen your knowledge of the fundamentals of design. You
design technical products so that they can be manufactured. You will analyze, evaluate
and select possible alternative solutions. You will document the task and solutions in
specifications and technical drawings. As a graduate, you
will be familiar with the latest methods and procedures for developing, designing and calculating components,
machines and systems and will be able to use them confidently in your everyday work.
Major 2: Production Engineering
In the Production Engineering specialization, you will learn about methods and manufacturing processes,
which are necessary for the industrial production of goods. You will deal with the
economic production of components and work with digitally networked
cutting machines and innovative industrial robot technology. As a graduate, you will be able to
innovatively design and improve production processes and logistics systems for the manufacture of components
.
As a mechanical engineer with a degree, many doors are open to you. You can embark on a national or international career, take up key economic and technical positions in small, medium-sized and large companies or work in research and development.
Typical areas of employment for our previous graduates include
Diploma program
Diploma program KIA variant
The KIA form of study only differs from the diploma course in the 2nd and 3rd semesters. The
Part-time semesters 2.1 to 3.2 are completed in a 4-week rhythm at alternating learning locations
(university/company). At the end of this study phase, you will take the IHK examination
and receive your first professional qualification.
