Mechanical Engineering, MSc

["Are you fascinated by engineering? Have you been awarded a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering? Are you looking for further qualification? You are creative, flexible and looking for new challenges? You are tempted by international studies and willing to implement that into your study programme?If your answer is yes, this is the right programme for you!The international Master's programme in Mechanical Engineering at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences is based on a prior Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. It provides you with a wide range of career opportunities. Students graduate from this course with the internationally acknowledged degree Master of Science (MSc).The central focus for the MSc is new and different. Our approach is a strategic partnership between the students in the programme, their universities, and the industries. Our goal is to prepare you for the new challenges arising in an increasingly globalised world. Consequently, the language of instruction is English.It is the intention of this programme to involve companies in the process of education and research. Students are strongly encouraged to take responsibility for their own studies. Therefore, the majority of Master's thesis projects are written in the industry. Your German language skills will help you to successfully apply for seminar and thesis projects. As a result, you create a sound scientific basis for your Master's thesis before your final semester starts.In our Master's programme, you can choose between the specialisation/profile in Design and Systems Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering:DESIGN AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERINGThe profile in Design and Systems Engineering focuses on the development and design of products and solutions using the latest technologies and methods in Mechanical Engineering (e.g. model-driven design, digital twin, intelligent systems). These key competences are the foundation to a successful positioning of Mechanical Engineering businesses in the international, globalised markets.In this specialisation, you train and broaden your mindset with the aim to implement a philosophy of thinking above horizons and limitations while targeting innovative application technology that meets all relevant requirements – technical, social and environmental.MATERIALS AND ENGINEERINGThe profile in Materials Science and Engineering focuses on contemporary engineering materials, with emphasis on polymers, composite materials and metals. Materials have always played a major role in the development of new products and will be a key factor to a successful orientation of mechanical engineering in the future. In the past decades, there has been a permanent and progressive growth in the area of plastics, composite materials and high strength alloys.In this specialisation, you train and broaden your in-depth-knowledge about the microstructure and mechanical behaviour of different materials. This profile teaches you how to develop innovative material solutions. As a result, it enables you to create innovative materials for the challenges of the globalised industry and actively shape the future of Mechanical Engineering.An "International Design Engineer" special exchange programme will be offered."]
