The Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Mechatronics at Hamburger Fern-Hochschule (HFH) provides an interdisciplinary foundation in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and information technology. This program is designed to prepare students for technical challenges at the intersection of these fields, with a focus on modern technological advancements like digitalization and Industry 4.0. Students will develop knowledge and skills applicable to a variety of technical and leadership roles. The curriculum offers specializations in areas such as robotics, human-machine interaction, and smart products and services, equipping graduates for diverse career paths in the evolving technological landscape.
The B.Eng. Mechatronik program follows an 8-semester, part-time study model with a total of 180 ECTS credit points. Modules typically consist of 6 ECTS. The structure is divided into distinct phases: Foundation, Engineering Core, Mechatronics Application, and Specialization/Thesis.
Graduating with a B.Eng. in Mechatronics provides a strong foundation for roles requiring integrated mechatronic system thinking. Graduates gain practical skills in automation, system development, and design, preparing them for engineering positions in dynamic technical environments.
International applicants must prove German language proficiency at least at B2 level before starting the program, typically demonstrated via the German Language Test for University Admission (DSH). Language exemption cases exist for certain international school-leaving certificates or recognized German diplomas.
An examination fee of EUR 620 is charged for each attempt of the Bachelor thesis.
