Excellent laboratories

I started my Mechanical Engineering studies directly after my vocational training as an industrial mechanic. During the training, I worked a lot with mechanical engineers and I really liked their areas of responsibility. I chose Esslingen University of Applied Sciences because it has a very good reputation in education and teaching Among other things, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences has very good laboratories where you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice and maintains very good regional contacts with large companies.
