Mechatronics and Automation Analysing and developing mechatronic systems

The Master of Science in Engineering with specialization in Mechatronics and Automation combines autonomous mobile systems, industrial automation and mechatronic systems such as grippers, drones and mobile robots. 

Students are given the opportunity to engage with issues around autonomous machines and the development of integrated mechatronic systems while attaining the qualification to manage interdisciplinary engineering projects.
The Mechatronics and Automation specialization offers students the chance to focus on Mechatronic Devices, Robotics or Dynamic Systems and Control. The Mechatronic Devices major revolves around the design and development of mechatronic components such as grippers, mobile robots or medical systems, while the development of robotic autonomous systems takes center stage in the Robotics major. The Dynamic Systems and Control major encompasses advanced methods for the identification, modeling and control of complex systems.

Statement of a graduate

Portrait Marco Grossmann

What advice do you have for new MSE students?
«Before you start, elaborate a plan what you want to learn/achieve and on which topic(s) you want to focus.»

What are the most important personal skills of an MSE student?
«Curiosity, this helps in acquiring new knowledge and developing new skills during the studies.»

What's your favorite MSE study memory?
«I appreciated the contact to other MSE students from different universities and with various background.»

In which areas were you able to develop the most through your MSE studies?
«Due to the extensive project modules, I gained confidence in working out larger projects. Furthermore, I was able to develop my programming skills a lot.»

What were your main reasons for choosing the MSE programme?
«I felt that there are many interesting topics, that were only touched on the surface during the bachelors’ studies. After deepening my knowledge in a specific area, I expect to gain access to jobs which were inaccessible for me after my bachelor’s study.»
