Technical Development in Mechanical Engineering (M. Eng.)

PLease find all info on master application here.

Application period for the winter term ist May 2 to July 15.

For a start in our summer term, it is Nov. 15 to Feb. 15.

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.

The postgraduate degree course Technical Development in Mechanical Engineering builds on the basis provided by the bachelor’s degree course in Mechanical Engineering and related degree courses. The course gives graduates a wide range of career options. Particular importance is also attached to pursuing the theoretical scientific fundamentals in greater depth, enabling students to embark on a doctorate programme or a career in the scientific field. In particular, the course prepares students for careers in related interdisciplinary areas such as:

• Technical development
• Testing
• Design
• Project management
