Your future begins in Siegen
Intelligent systems, autonomous robots and smart products need more than just mechanics - they need mechatronics and software expertise. On the Digital Engineering - Mechatronics course, you will learn how mechanical, electronic and digital components work together. You will develop systems that can see, think and act - from sensor technology to AI.
Your degree course combines:
- Mechanics, electrical engineering and control engineering - as the basis for mechatronic systems,
- Computer science & AI - with programming, algorithms, machine learning and software engineering,
- Mathematical skills such as: Analysis, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Numerics.
You will study in a project-oriented, practical and interdisciplinary way - with applications in robotics, autonomous mobility or industrial automation, for example.
At the University of Siegen, you can study Digital Engineering with a focus on mechatronics, or with one of the following specializations:

Preparation for your studies
Schools IV offers various preliminary courses to prepare students for their studies. These follow on from the school curriculum and provide optimal preparation for the start of studies. Participation is voluntary, but makes the transition between school and university much easier. The preliminary courses are suitable for all degree programs of the NT Schools.
Career prospects
Your expertise in mechatronics, software and AI will open up a wide range of opportunities for you - for example in
- the development of autonomous systems and robotics
- networked production processes and embedded systems
- intelligent image processing, sensor technology and automation.
You will be in demand wherever smart technology is created - in industry, development departments or research. A Master's degree is also possible - with the focus that suits you.
At least 8 weeks of basic work placement before the start of the course: getting to know materials and their machinability, gaining an overview of production facilities and manufacturing processes and experiencing the social side of the work process. The internship is recognized by the Internship Office, must be completed before starting the Bachelor's degree course and must be proven by the end of the 3rd semester.
At least 6 weeks of specialist internship during your studies: Supplement and deepen the knowledge acquired during your studies by working in various operational areas and an initial introduction to engineering practice.
If you do not have a high school diploma, but have a technical college entrance qualification, or are already in the middle of your professional life, please find out more here.
