Mechatronics is a combination of (precision) engineering, electronics and computer science, making it a technology which is key for many of the products we use on a day-to-day basis. You only have to think about robotics, sensor or automotive technology – things which used to be purely mechanical are now nearly always supplemented by complex electro-technical elements, in conjunction with computer and information systems. Together they form a holisticmechatronic system – the interdisciplinary field of activity for this discipline.

Admission RequirementsUniversity degree in a relevant discipline and subsequent professional experience.
Students on the programme acquire a sound understanding of how to design, develop and simulate mechatronic systems and create models. They learn to analyse, formulate, tackle and solve complex, mechatronics-related tasks, including those which are not fully defined, placing particular importance on the consideration of technical, scientific, environmental and economic aspects.
As experts working at the interface of mechanical, electrical and electronic systems, mechatronics graduates are particularly in demand for specialist and managerial positions in the following fields:
University degree (Bachelor or Diplom) in an engineering or scientific subject
The admissions procedure is managed by the TechnischeAkademieEsslingen, An der Akademie 5, 73760 Ostfildern.
The Master programme in Mechatronics is designed as a part-time programme which you can combine with your professional work. The face-to-face teaching takes place on Friday afternoons from 14.00 -17.15 and Saturdays from 09.00 -17.00 at the TAE in Ostfildern or Esslingen University’s campus in Göppingen.
