What does it take to build and optimise renewable energy systems, like wind turbines or heat pumps? How can you make smart material choices for the design of aircraft, machine parts, or medical equipment? You will learn this and much more during this Master's. It focuses on the design, analysis, and maintenance of machinery, structures, and products, as well as production processes.
It covers the breadth of the field of mechanical engineering, addressing subareas like solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, control and robotics, design, manufacturing techniques, tribology, biomechanics, and more. You can develop your own expertise by choosing one of the seven specialisations. As a mechanical engineer, you can pursue a career in a broad range of engineering positions, and in a wide variety of sectors, from manufacturing, energy, transport, aeronautics, automotive, consumer goods, and the maritime industry to the biomedical field.

Maintenance Engineering & Operations



This specialisation will help you to come up with innovative solutions to improve the maintenance of machinery, structures and production facilities, to enhance performance of a system and company.

Energy & Flow



Do you want to contribute to the development of sustainable energy systems, processes, and equipment that work well and have minimal impact on the environment? Then this is the specialisation for you.

High-Tech Systems & Materials



You learn to understand the behaviour of materials and systems in order to optimise the performance of things like machines and wind turbines, by making sure all parts work together effectively.

Aeronautics



This specialisation makes you an expert in innovations for i.e. aviation, maritime, wind turbines and cars, where aerodynamics interacts with acoustics, structures and propulsion.

Design & Manufacturing



In this specialisation, you will gain a better understanding of design and production processes and manufacturing facilities as a whole, by focusing on their methodological design.

Smart & Sustainable Industry



This specialisation focuses on the development, analysis, simulation and control of innovative and digitally-driven production systems.

Personalised Health Technology



Do you want to build expertise in the domain of healthcare technology as a mechanical engineer? Then this specialisation is right for you.
