Please note that both our application process and the study program will undergo major changes for the winter semester 2023/24. The most current information is available on this following page.
The degree program
The International Graduate Studies in Mechatronics is an
interdisciplinary study program. The duration of the study
course is two years, divided into 4 semesters. Courses start
mid October each year. Medium of instruction is English,
however, basic German language courses are mandatory for all
Mechatronics students during their studies.
A Master of Science degree in Mechatronics will be awarded upon
successful completion of the program. The grades and credit
points of the Mechatronics program are based on the European
Credit Transfer System (ECTS) which guarantees high
international acceptance of the Master degree.
Students of Mechatronics join us from all around the world so
the course is designed to first integrate the knowledge of
students coming from various fields and cultures (alignment
subjects). These subjects are based on students entry
qualifications.
In the second and third semester relatively complex courses are
offered providing students with broad knowledge in mechanical
as well as electrical engineering.
During the fourth semester students have to write their Master
thesis based on their research. The research is done under the
supervision of teaching staff at the University of Siegen,
however, the research can be done at the University or in the
industry. This provides excellent opportunities for the future
professional career.
Major research areas include robotics, computer science,
electrical systems, control engineering, material science,
machines, automation, networking, power systems, multi-sensor
systems and design. Moreover, cooperation with other
departments guarantees an even larger selection. Some exemplary
research topics include:
- Medical surgery robots, Mobile robotics, Telematics,Control of mechatronic system, 3D vision,
- Photo-Mixer Device (PMD) technology
- Design and construction
- Mechanics
- Modelling and simulation
- Power electronics
- Electrical devices
- Neural networks
- Network computing etc.

Study organization
Examination regulations/degree plan/module
manuals/internship rules
Examination regulations (POs) specify the basic structures of a
degree program (e.g. admission requirements and contents to be
studied). Students are automatically subject to the current
version of their PO when they matriculate for their first
subject-related semester. This means that even if the PO
changes during their studies, the original version according to
which they matriculated will remain valid (provided that the PO
does not expire).
The respective degree plan is the recommended example progress
of the studies in individual subjects and is part of a PO.
Supplementary regulations and details for any module to be
studied can be found in the module manual (e.g. requirements
for taking a written test or content-related information on the
modules/events, ...).
The internship rules define the conditions under which the
required or optional internships must be completed.
We recommend at least looking at the study schedule for your
degree program before the lecture time starts, to ensure that
you know which modules are intended for the start of your
studies.
