Future (Career) Prospects

Nowadays there is an increasing demand on the labour market for mechanical engineers. The industrial areas of machine production, chemical production and the energy sector requires skillful mechanical engineers to do the work tasks of factories and design offices in relation to technical design, maintenance and quality insurance.

Content and Structure

During their studies students are required to take up to 210 credits, each semester totaling 30 credits, which means completing six subjects in every semester

The core modules in the first year are taken mainly from the fields of basic engineering subjects and basic natural scientific subjects, such as Mechanics, Machine Structures, Mathematics, Engineering Physics.

In the second and third year the students continue their studies with professional basic mechanical engineering subjects (in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, design systems, CNC machines, production planning, etc.) and the subjects in connection to the field of their specialisation.
In the final semester students are required to accomplish their professional practical internship and write their thesis.

Some subjects of the study program can be registered for and studied in online form, too.
