Overview
The mechanical and plant engineering industry works innovation based on future challenges every day. Regarding the digital revolution, highly qualified engineers must develop solutions in the fields of industry 4.0, efficient processes and sustainable production. The aim of the Master Degree Course Mechanical Engineering is to educate students in fundamentals of engineering science and – according to that – in core competences to prepare them for challenges and their career. This enables them to find tomorrow’s solutions.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Available specialization options are, e.g., materials science, thermodynamics or fluid mechanics. Moreover, by combining modules of different research areas in a targeted manner, students are enabled to develop highly individual cross-sectoral or sector-linking qualification profiles. For example, modules of the logistics sector may be combined with those of the energy sector or else aerospace modules may be combined with the medical engineering sector.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Upon completing the master's program in Mechanical Engineering, opportunities arise in many and various areas. These include mechanical, plant and vehicle engineering or, equally, the aerospace sector, as well as associated suppliers and service providers. Further opportunities arise in engineering consultancies.
Structure
The Master Degree Courseallows you to create your own individual study course plan. The Program is structured as follows:
- Master Modules, divided into main subject areas fundamentals of engineering sciences, core subjects of mechanical engineering, related areas and engineering science flexibilization
- Practical courses
- Supplementary Subjects
- Research Internship (term project, team project, practical research course)
- Key Competences (language courses, soft skills workshops, …)
- Master’s Thesis

Admissions
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions test.
