- A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Automotive Engineering at the University of Siegen or another comparable course of study of at least three years' duration with a completed Bachelor's examination or a comparable final examination with a grade of at least (3.0) is required.
- In order to provide proof of previous study-related education, the previous Bachelor's degree program must largely correspond to the respective Bachelor's degree program at the University of Siegen in terms of thematic focus and specialization in accordance with the study plan for this degree program. The study plan can be found in an appendix to the departmental examination regulations.
- A further requirement for admission to the Master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering is proof of English language proficiency at level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) or at the level of a TOEFL iBT (Internet based TOEFEL) of at least 87 or an IELTS 6.0. This requirement is already fulfilled with a German Abitur.
- A 6-week industrial internship must be completed by the end of the Master's degree program. The details are regulated by the internship regulations.
(Subject) examination regulations/study plans/module handbooks/internship regulations
(Subject) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enrol for their first semester. This means that even if the FPO changes during the course of study, the original version according to which you enrolled is still valid (provided this FPO does not expire).
The respective study plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination).e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/courses, ...).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least take a look at the curriculum of your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
