About this programme
Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems (MEfIS) is a four-semester Master's degree programme for Bachelor's graduates with a solid background in mechanical engineering and a strong interest in the industrial research, development and implementation of mechanical engineering related challenges. A total of 120 ECTS CPs must be acquired. One of three possible specialisations must be selected during the application process. “Industrial Drive Technology”: Drive technology plays a role wherever things move – from machine tools and agricultural machinery to wind power. Drive technology is one of the largest industrial sectors in Germany. The specialisation therefore offers the best prerequisites for a successful career in R&D in one of the more than 250 drive technology companies, including many hidden champions, in Germany. You will receive excellent qualifications for simulating complex drive systems and will be able to develop analysis and design methods for new tasks. "Advanced Mechanics for Digital Engineering": The programme provides comprehensive knowledge in mechanical modelling, numerical methods, and the simulation of digital twins. Students learn to mathematically describe and analyse complex systems through simulations. Additionally, they develop skills in optimisation, parameter identification, and programming. These skills qualify graduates for roles in research and development, simulation and modelling, automation, digital product design, and smart manufacturing. "Digital Production Technologies": Providing comprehensive knowledge and skills in the field of digital production technologies, including digital modelling, process simulation, sustainable manufacturing and the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies in the production area such as digital twins to meet industrial needs The Mechanical Engineering for Industrial Systems degree programme prepares you for the largest sectors of German industry: Drive Technology and Production Machinery. In designing the specialisations, we have consistently focused on the current and future needs of industry. A successful degree will qualify you for positions in large companies or in German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their many hidden champions. Semesters one and two contain mandatory subjects in one of the three specialisations as well as compulsory elective modules from a catalogue consisting of modules of the other two specialisations as well as further modules suitable for the field. The skills learned are applied in the third semester both in a three-month industrial internship and in a project at one of the local institutes. Semester four is reserved for the Master's thesis.

Prerequisites
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, with a focus on one of the selectable specialisations English certificate (GRE recommended) CGPA (cumulative grade point average): the Bachelor's grade (GPA) should be 2.0 or better according to the German grading system (which generally corresponds to “B” or "C" in the ECTS grading system) or equivalent qualifications. Applicants are expected to have sufficient knowledge in the fields of higher mathematics, mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, measurement and control technology, material science, engineering design, engineering construction and machine elements as well as programming skills. In addition, successful applicants must demonstrate additional knowledge relevant to the field of specialisation they are applying for: "Industrial Drive Technology": Computer-aided design (CAD) or digital modelling techniques, Finite element method "Advanced Mechanics for Digital Engineering": Finite element method, continuum mechanics "Digital Production Technologies": Computer-aided design (CAD) or digital modelling techniques; manufacturing technologies The required credit points or hours in the individual disciplines are published on the department website before each application period.
