Mechanical Engineering | Master of Science in Technology

Machines have enabled many imposing and magnificent ideas and have facilitated a multitude of challenging functions. Machine science and its traditional findings form the basis for other engineering sciences.

Machine science is characterised by a strong desire to think differently and effect change in the world.

The Master's Programme in Mechanical Engineering offers several unique multi-disciplinary specialisation packages, such as digital engineering, hybrid materials and steel structures, which support traditional mechanical engineering. You will be studying in well-equipped facilities, and many of your classes will take place inhigh-tech labs that enable computer modelling, 3D imaging, and virtual reality for conducting experiments.

The programme provides you with great opportunities to build your own personal study plan by freely selecting two of six available specialisation packages and some elective courses.

You will build your own study plan from the following specialisations:

• digital engineering
• robotics and mechatronics
• welding technology and laser processing
• steel structures
• composites and hybrid materials
• sustainable manufacturing processes.

This programme gives you unique knowledge, skills and competences in mechanical engineering and leadership and management skills required in industrial positions.

What will you learn in the programme?

As a graduate of this programme, you will understand the applications of mechanical engineering in different specialisation areas and know how to combine them to form multidisciplinary knowledge, skills and competences.

You will acquire:

• competence to think through industrial research and development problems logically and solve them to contribute to critical and innovative thinking in different areas of mechanical engineering;
• professional skills that enable you to understand the needs and special features in mechanical engineering design, IoT, automatised and robotised production and manufacture of products, material selection and modelling and reliability-based design, and business-oriented project work; you will learn to utilise fully digitised design, simulation and production environments for different areas of mechanical engineering including sustainability aspects;
• multidisciplinary teamwork skills that enable you to participate and interact in task-orientated engineering groups in a productive manner and lead and manage design projects.
