Your future with a degree in Mechatronics

Mechatronics engineers are in demand wherever mechatronic systems and machines are used or produced - in the electrical industry, the automotive industry, aerospace engineering and construction. As a cross-sectional discipline, mechatronics combines several engineering subjects to perfect the production of machines and processes in industry. It consists of mechanics, electrical engineering and IT/computer science and deals with the interaction of mechanical and electronic components in machines, systems and systems.
