Description/content This degree programme leads to advanced knowledge and skills, methodical and technical
expertise in the field of Mechanical and Process Engineering. It combines knowledge from both
mechanical and process specifics – machinery and plants with methods of process engineering.
After completing the programme, students will be capable of identifying relevant information and
problems. Students will be able to make conclusions with regard to further research and
development as well as identify expertise from other related disciplines. Furthermore, students will
acquire skills that are necessary in order to be part of interdisciplinary groups.
Job opportunities
The graduates will be well prepared to pursue successful careers in academia or research centres.
In addition, they will fulfil the requirements to work in many industrial areas, such as automotive,
metallurgy, materials manufacturing and processing.

Course Details
Course organisation In the first semester, trainings in Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Particle
Technology, Process Equipment, Endurance and Design are compulsory to ensure that all of the
students in the programme have the same academic background.
The second semester provides the theoretical framework. To develop self-reliant scientific working
techniques, students are required to work on projects in small teams. Students gain additional
knowledge and experience by interacting with university scientists and engineers.
In the third semester, students become familiar with design methods and learn at least one
numerical tool.
In addition, basic courses in management, economy and finance are offered as electives.
During the fourth semester, students will finally work on their research-oriented Master's theses,
which must be presented and defended.
Methods of teaching can be lectures, workshops, seminars, practicals and other types of
courses. Seminars lead the students to independent scientific work through discussions and
presentations. Besides the consolidation of theoretical knowledge, the aim of practicals is to allow
students to learn methods and other practical skills.
