Specific admission requirements Previous completion of technical-oriented Bachelor studies
Specific provisions for recognition of prior learning General Rules for the Recognition of Previous Studies
Qualification requirements and regulations 120 ECTS credits, Diploma Thesis, Final State Examination
Profile of the programme Graduates will display knowledge of manufacturing machines and equipment. They will have specialised knowledge of the design of machine tools and forming machines, which is supplemented by knowledge of modern design tools. The graduate will be able to use a systematic approach to engineering design (EDS), tools for computer aided design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), basic mechatronics and controlling and measuring techniques. The study concepts enable relatively rapid application even in other engineering areas.
Persistence requirements unspecified
Occupational profiles of graduates with examples A graduate has theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of machine design and finds the application in engineering development and manufacturing companies, research institutions and occupations specialized in the field of machine design and equipment
