Mechatronics M.Sc.

In the future, industry will be strongly characterized by automation and robotics. At the same time, the electro-hydraulic systems and micro-sensor technologies behind them will become ever smaller, faster and more complex. In the Master's degree course in Mechatronics, we train specialists who are able to understand the complexity of the entire system and make it controllable.

Mechatronics

Today, mechatronic systems are integrated into our everyday lives as a matter of course. Whether automated production chains in industry, the integration of sensors and actuators or the technological transformation of entire sectors such as automotive and mobility - they would simply not be possible without the know-how and technology of our discipline and its specialists. Building on a Bachelor's degree in mechatronics (or related courses), the Master's degree course expands and deepens knowledge and practice-oriented skills. Students are introduced to research and development tasks and work on a future-oriented topic during their six-month Master's thesis.

Core questions of the degree program

The Master's degree program in Mechatronics deals with the following questions:

How can mechatronic systems be simulated and optimized?
Which mathematical methods and simulation tools are required?
Which signal and image processing methods are used?
How can electrohydraulic drive systems be designed and implemented in a climate-friendly way?
How can modern laser measurement technology be used for mechatronic solutions?
How can robotics and automation sustainably relieve the burden on people in production?

The Business Administration course offers many important building blocks for a career leap. These include, for example, marketing, human resources management, business informatics and accounting, auditing and finance. Internships and excursions at htw saar are a particularly valuable way to broaden your horizons.

Job prospects and career

The Master's degree qualifies graduates for responsible tasks in teams as well as for taking on project responsibility and management functions in companies and institutions. Excellent prospects are therefore offered by the very large sectors such as automotive and mechanical and plant engineering as well as a variety of other sectors - either in Saarland, nationwide or internationally. Your knowledge and skills will be in demand: you can develop and support various measurement technology, embedded systems, medical devices and automation solutions. Or take responsibility for the design of components for wind turbines, other renewables and energy storage systems. And since automation is rapidly changing many industries, there are corresponding opportunities and exciting career prospects for graduates of htw saar. As engineers, they can work in teams with specialists from other disciplines to develop and build complex systems and make them marketable. The best thing is that the job profiles in mechatronics are becoming ever more numerous and diverse - graduates from htw saar are in demand.
