The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program is designed for students who have completed a Bachelor's degree and wish to deepen their knowledge in mechanical engineering. This English-language program offers an application-oriented approach, integrating expertise from civil engineering and geodesy, mechanical engineering, mathematics, and physics. It focuses on bridging the gap between abstract mathematical concepts and practical engineering challenges. Students can choose specialized areas within the broad field of mechanics, and a dedicated mentor system provides guidance and support throughout their studies.
The curriculum offers a deepening of mathematical and mechanical engineering skills. Students can select extensive mandatory subject areas across different fields. A sample module overview is available.
English proficiency at B2 level (CEFR) is required. While the program is primarily in English, some individual courses might be offered in German, and scientific literature may need to be read and processed in German. Specific required documents for English proficiency can be found via the provided link.
Applicants need a Bachelor's degree in Engineering and Mechanics, or an equivalent degree in related fields such as Mathematics, Civil Engineering, or Physics from TU Darmstadt or another recognized institution. English proficiency at B2 level (CEFR) is also required.
The program is primarily English-taught. However, some individual courses might be offered in German, and students should be prepared to read scientific literature in German.
No, there are no tuition fees for the Master's program for either domestic or international students. Students should budget for estimated living costs of approximately €934 per month.
The standard duration of the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program is 4 semesters, which is equivalent to two years of full-time study.
The application deadline for the Winter Semester is July 15, and for the Summer Semester, it is January 15. All applications must be submitted online through the university's portal.
