 Requirements

Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree (210 ECTS) with an overall grade/mark well
above average (such as "with distinction", "excellent" depending on the grading scale) in
mechanical engineering
mechatronics
industrial engineering with a specialisation in mechanical engineering
or an equivalent qualification

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with 210 ECTS or equivalent and an overall
grade of 2.5 (German grading system) or equivalent thereof

This Master's programme was designed for engineers in many different fields
who would like to become experts in the field of mechanical engineering.
Examples of these engineering fields include machine design, electrical engineering,
mechatronics, industrial engineering and many more.
a completed BSc degree in a corresponding study programme with a German grade of 2.5 or
better
at least 210 ECTS points or, ideally, a total study time of seven full-time semesters (for
Bachelor's graduates with less than 210 ECTS points, entry requirements can be secured by
taking defined modules)
proof of sufficient knowledge of the English language (see below)
Applicants with qualifications obtained outside of the European Higher Education Area must
additionally submit documentation of a valid TestAS certificate in the Core-Test and
Engineering Module with a standard score of 100 or better. Alternatively, you can submit a
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) or a Graduate Record Examination (GRE,
minimum score: Q = 160, V =145, and A = 4.5).

Students must have completed an undergraduate university degree programme in a

natural or engineering science (usually a Bachelor's degree). Best suited are degrees
in physics engineering, physics, applied physics, microtechnology, precision
instrumentation, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronics engineering,
electrical engineering, instrumentation engineering, or materials sciences.
Graduates of other engineering or science courses may also fulfil the entry
requirements.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or an equivalent area
of engineering with a focus on design and development
Overall grade of A or B (top 35%)
Minimum credit point workload in Bachelor's studies in the following areas:
CAD (Pro/E or CATIA): 5 CP
Design/Machine Elements: 15 CP
Strength of Materials/Mechanics: 10 CP
Mathematics: 8 CP
A letter of motivation, one page
Two letters of recommendation

Admission requirements for the Master's degree programme are a Bachelor's degree
in one of the following: Electrical Engineering and Information Technology,
Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Plastics Engineering, or a related field.
An equivalent qualification obtained in Germany or abroad may also
be accepted. An overall grade of "good" or higher is required (GPA of 2.5 or better
in the German grading system).

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in process engineering or a similar technical field

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for applicants who do not have a Bachelor's
qualification from an EU country
Proof of English language, if English is not the first language (see language requirements)

University diploma/Bachelor's degree certificate indicating the final grade, all university end
of year exam certificates with individual grades
All certificates must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system. Copies must be
officially authenticated.
 Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline or in computer science

Applications are evaluated in an internal selection procedure. We evaluate how well an

applicant fits to the programme. The procedure is carried out using documents provided by the
applicant. There is no interview. Experience in specific subjects (e.g., control engineering) can
be gained by way of professional jobs, suitable internships, a Bachelor's thesis, and other
project work:

knowledge in the fields of vehicle technology, control engineering, signal processing,

sensor/actuators technology, simulation of mechatronic systems, electronics, power
electronics, microcomputer technology, programming
practical experience (comparable to an internship semester) in the field of design or testing of
mechatronic systems for vehicles
project work with thematic reference to vehicles, which requires knowledge of the areas of
construction or design of mechatronic vehicle components, control technology, electronics,
power electronics, modelling&simulation, control devices and their programming
final thesis of Bachelor's degree with thematic reference to vehicles, which was prepared
independently and according to engineering-scientific principles

Bachelor's degree in maritime science, engineering or similar background

A Bachelor's degree or equivalent in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, mechanical

and materials science, or a similar subject is required.

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in environmental engineering, process engineering or a

similar field
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for applicants who do not have a Bachelor's
qualification from an EU country
Proof of English (if it is not the applicant's first language) – see the language requirements
Proof of professional experience in the field is appreciated and will lead to more points in the
ranking of applicants. Proof of professional experience should be documented in the
application by a CV and reference letters from employers.

For admission to the Master's programme "Renewable Energy Management" (MSc),

applicants are required to have successfully completed studies in the field of engineering or
natural science (at least a Bachelor's or comparable degree). The following fields of study are
eligible: engineering science, natural science, architecture, agriculture science, life science and
earth science.

There is a set of minimum requirements that participants have to fulfil:

Bachelor's degree with minimum grade of 3.0 (according to the German System)
Proof of a relation to the management of renewable energies through the previous studies of
minimum 15 ECTS
Proof of English proficiency (see language requirements)
Bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, in particular: process engineering, mechanical
engineering - only with focus on production/manufacturing engineering or industrial
engineering, technical logistics, engineering and business, production engineering, wood
engineering, wood Technology
