Computer Science in Mechanical Engineering (Bachelor)

The aim of our degree programme is to train engineers who are able to meet today’s demands in an industrial working environment and to successfully manage projects. After completing the degree programme, you will master the interplay between traditional mechanical engineering and applied computer science, and will be able to develop, manage and enhance the necessary systems.

After obtaining your degree, you will be able to work in the following fields:

• Calculation engineering
• Production planning and control
• Software design
• Robotics
• Construction
• Research and development
• After-sales, customer service
• Logistics
• Servicing, maintenance
• Management, business management
• Training and further training
• Quality management, quality assurance

In addition, our department offers the following Master’s programmes:

• Master in Mechanical Engineering, specialising in Product Design, Computational Engineering, Agricultural Engineering – offered as full-time and part-time programmes.
• Master in Business Management in Technology, specialising in Mechanical Engineering

At the start of the programme, you will initially gain a basic knowledge of mathematics, science and technology, such as in:
