Engineering Education Automotive Engineering - Mechanical Engineering (B.Sc.)

General Information

Learn to develop innovations

Now more than ever, society’s need for mobility and the transport of goods is raising new questions in the face of the ever-changing technological, economic and ecological circumstances: How will we get around in an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient way in the future? Which concepts support flexibility yet are sustainable as well?

Play your part in designing the mobility concepts of tomorrow. Even as a student, you will develop your ideas and your resourcefulness as you undertake numerous projects, lab work and collaborations with industrial companies. You will learn to develop and build state of the art automotive parts and components. With your specialist knowledge, you will make subsequent generations fit for the future as well: during your initial phases of teaching practice at a vocational college, you will fill your pupils with the same enthusiasm you have for your subject.


Continuing education after the bachelor

Your Bachelor’s degree qualifies you to continue with Master programmes in engineering and education theory.

Would you like to pass on your passion for engineering? Further information on training to teach at vocational colleges can be found at #LIEBERLEHRAMT.
