Short info about the course of study

The course of study

One of eight recess directions is provided. At the beginning there is a block with which mathematical and engineering fundamentals are deepened in order to bring students with different initial qualifications to a uniform level of knowledge. The module ‘Deepening of Engineering Applications’ includes the elective areas ‘Applied Engineering Specialisation’ and ‘Applied Engineering Cross-Section’. Depending on their inclination and interest, students independently select engineering content from extensive catalogues. Attractive specialist laboratories and development projects in small groups serve to deepen the knowledge conveyed in practice. The industrial internship and the master's thesis are further elements of the degree program.

Career prospects

For graduates of the master's programme in mechanical engineering, there are numerous attractive career prospects both nationally and internationally. Possible professional fields would be, for example, research and development, quality management, project management and sales. With their specialist knowledge and their ability to innovate, graduates can also make their way into self-employment and start their own company.

Admission requirements

• The bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or vehicle construction at the University of Siegen or another, technically comparable, at least three years of study with a completed bachelor's examination or a comparable final examination with at least the grade (3.0) is required.
• In order to prove the degree program-related prior education, the previous bachelor's degree program in the thematic focuses and specializations must largely correspond to the respective bachelor's degree program of the University of Siegen in accordance with the course plan of this degree program. The course plan can be found in an annex to the subject examination regulations.
• The prerequisite for admission to the Master's programme in Mechanical Engineering is also the proof of knowledge of the English language at level B2 in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) or at the level of a TOEFL iBT (Internet based TOEFEL) of at least 87 or an IELTS 6.0. With a German Abitur, this requirement is already fulfilled.
• A 6-week industrial internship must be completed by the end of the master's program. The details are laid down in the traineeship regulations.

Study organisation

Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations

(Professional) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the case of changes to the FPO during the course of studies, the original version according to which one has enrolled is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Additional regulations and details for each module to be studied can be found in the module manuals (e.g. prerequisites for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.

Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
