Mechanical Engineering (B.Sc.)

The safe disposal and recycling of machine parts, improving ergonomic aspects at the human-machine interface, optimizing market orientation in the planning and development of production plants - these are the diverse and socially-relevant issues you will explore in the Mechanical Engineering bachelors program. You will learn the broad, theoretical basic principles of mechanical engineering and plant manufacturing. The curriculum incorporates engineering and natural sciences as well as technical-methodological and non-technical aspects, enabling an in-depth examination of the development, construction, manufacturing, and operation of machines and plants and their components as well as related systems and processes. Application-based and product-related technical knowledge forms a further important aspect of the program. The program provides you with a great deal of freedom when choosing your areas of specialization. Much of your studies will take place in elective modules, allowing you to focus on your individual interests and the career you wish to pursue.

The bachelors program in Mechanical Engineering provides you with a thorough technical education as well as the methodological engineering skills required for a systematic and interdisciplinary approach to work. As a graduate of this program you possess the following knowledge and skills:

•   The ability to identify and understand scientific and technical relationships as well as their application and use in the development, construction, manufacturing, operation, and disposal of machines and processes as well as the ability to expertly assess these issues

•   The ability to identify and expertly assess influences and mutual relationships between technology and the environment

•   The capacity to understand and influence technological change in research, development and application

Like every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Mechanical Engineering bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission. Knowledge of English is useful as some courses/modules are offered in English. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

As much of the curriculum focuses on technical, scientific and methodological aspects, you should ideally already possess a basic knowledge of technology and natural sciences. It is particularly useful if you took advanced courses in these subjects in school.
