Mechanical Engineering, B. Sc.

A special feature at the beginning of your studies is the practice-oriented Bachelor's project. You will work in a group on current research and practical problems of the faculty institutes. There are 13 projects to choose from, which cover the three areas of specialisation "Development and Design", "Energy and Process Engineering" and "Production Engineering". For example, you may be working on the development of an additional smartphone lens, the design of an electrically powered car or the production of individual components for a racing car. In this way, you will gain practical experience in the first semester, develop targeted solutions and implement them. At the same time, you will learn skills such as teamwork, project management and personal responsibility.

In the first semesters you will be taught basic knowledge in the fields of mathematics, metrology, computer science, mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science. Your curriculum includes corresponding lectures and exercises. In addition, you will have the opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice in laboratories and internships. Tutorials and exercises help you to apply and deepen your knowledge. In the further course of your studies, you can choose two specialisation modules, thus defining a first specialisation. Specialist excursions to industrial companies and the teaching of key competencies complete the course offerings. In addition, you have the possibility to choose a module from the entire range of courses at Leibniz University in the Studium Generale. You are not limited to the engineering field here and can therefore look beyond your own nose. In the last semester you will write your bachelor thesis, which concludes your studies.

The Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering qualifies you to take up an engineering profession. Depending on your specialisation, you can work in large and medium-sized national and international companies that are active in the respective fields. The Bachelor's degree also qualifies you for further master's studies.
