Mastering the Synergy of Mechanics, Electronics & AI for Advanced Systems
The ‘AI-driven Mechatronics and Robotics’ Master's degree programme prepares you optimally for a future-proof career in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The interdisciplinary programme is offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in cooperation with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science.
The programme focuses on the interaction of mechanics, electronics and computer science for the purpose of developing technical systems in which sensory, information-processing, actuator and mechanical functions are integrated. In addition to the increased internationalisation of the courses on offer, the promotion of global talent and future specialists is being pursued.

Programme content
The Master's degree programme in AI-driven Mechatronics and Robotics is divided into three compulsory modules, which are supplemented by compulsory elective and elective modules as well as the ‘Studium Generale’ section. A further component of your degree programme is an industrial or specialist internship. The programme concludes with the preparation and presentation of your Master's thesis.
Three mandatory modules
The three compulsory modules provide you with all the relevant basics of the degree programme. The compulsory module ‘Data- and AI-driven Methods in Engineering’ is offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, ‘Data- and Learning Based Control’ by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and ‘Robotics I’ is taught in a collaboration between the two faculties.
Another compulsory module is a German language course at the Leibniz Language Centre. This gives international students their first basic knowledge of German, which makes it easier for them to find their way around everyday (university) life and can also be helpful when looking for an internship. A more advanced German language course can also be taken on a voluntary basis as part of the ‘Studium Generale’ module.
Compulsory and elective modules
In addition to the three compulsory modules mentioned above, you have the opportunity to gain further qualifications and specialise by taking further compulsory and elective modules. You can select these modules from an extensive range according to your personal interests. The compulsory elective modules include, for example, ‘Robotics II’, ‘Artificial Intelligence I’, ‘Electrical Machines and Drives’ and ‘Sustainability Assessment I’. The elective modules include ‘Artificial Intelligence II’, ‘MOOC Aircraft Engines’, ‘Biomedical Engineering for Engineers II’ or ‘Sustainable Combustion’, among many others.
Study and master's thesis
During your degree programme, you will have to complete a student research project and a Master's thesis. The student research project allows you to explore an engineering issue in depth and is supervised at one of the institutes of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering or the Faculties of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Civil Engineering and Geodesy involved in the degree programme. Your degree programme concludes with a Master's thesis, which you present and defend. Depending on the subject area, this will be written at one of the faculties involved in the programme.
