Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering Technology

The Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering Technology focuses on mechanical engineering in the broadest sense of the word. It covers various aspects that are important when designing and building modern machines and constructions like e.g. materials use, advanced forming, design, and simulation techniques. Far from being satisfied with using and/or applying known technologies, we focus on innovative, problem-solving and practice-oriented thinking and working. In so doing, we take into account our economic and ecological reality.

Our Master's programme in Electromechanical Engineering Technology is a continuation of the main subject Electromechanical Engineering in the Engineering Technology Bachelor’s programme (an academic Bachelor’s programme). Specific domains in mechanics and electricity are explored further and more in-depth. The curriculum contains various sets of specialist electives on, among others, plastics, production techniques and vehicle technology, as well as entrepreneurship and sustainability. The Master's dissertation is your chance to prove that you are able to set up, carry out and successfully conclude a project with a certain scope and degree of complexity. In so doing, you collaborate intensively with various partners from the industry and other research institutions who make their expertise available to our students.

Our graduates have the perfect profile. Being highly versatile and immediately employable, this new generation of engineers are much welcomed by large and small companies. The cornerstones of our programme - i.e. mechanics, electronics and automation - make you into a highly employable graduate. After completing the Master’s programme, you can take up management positions in production, design, management, maintenance or commercial services. Careers that are open to you are, for instance, design engineer, methods engineer, production engineer, maintenance engineer, safety engineer, technical-commercial manager, as an organizer of education and training services... Research and education are also among the possibilities.
