Content

What is the (part-time) Mechatronic Systems Engineering degree programme about?

The degree centres around the development and realisation of systems for modern products or production facilities. You will learn to develop, manage and administer complex machine, plant and production processes.

PARTICULARITIES

Strengths of the degree programme

Above-average student-to-staff ratio

Your voice counts: Our small group concept means that students benefit from active discussions with their lecturers.

Support from the ZWW

The Centre for Further Education and Knowledge Management (ZWW) understands the challenges of part-time study and is available to you as a competent partner for the entire duration of your studies.

Compatibility of studying with professional and private life

The courses on Friday afternoons (apart from the block week) take place online or hybrid. This enables you to achieve an even better balance between your studies, work and private life.

Group learning

You are not alone: at our regular in-person lectures you will come together as a study group to become a team that helps, motivates and supports one another.

Former students as mentors

Our alumni will accompany you through your studies and share their experiences with you.

Career opportunities

Advance your career

Completing your engineering degree and, if applicable, further study, is by no means the end. A Bachelor of Engineering will open doors for you. Take the next step on the career ladder – perhaps towards a management position.

Our graduates are employed in many fields, for example:
- Design and development of mechatronic systems
- Management, monitoring, project management and quality assurance for technical projects
- Planning and realisation of complex processes for technical systems
It doesn't have to end with a Bachelor's degree. With no less than four different part-time Master's programmes available, you can continue to expand your skills after graduation - depending on the area in which you have chosen to specialise. You will be well-qualified for all four programmes. You can also opt for a full-time Master's degree programme. With a Bachelor of Engineering, you will have a wide range of study options at Master's level to choose from.

Structure and modules

How is the degree programme structured?

The four main pillars are mechanical and plant engineering in combination with applied electrical engineering and computer science, automation, control and simulation engineering, project management and controlling, and soft skills. Each pillar comprises at least two modules.

- Physics with Laboratory Exercises
- Engineering Mechanics
- Statics
- Fundamentals of Computer Science for Engineers
- Technical English
- Digital Process Chain in Manufacturing
- Measurement Techniques with Laboratory Exercises
- Simulation of Mechatronic Systems
- Actuators and Drive Systems
- Control Engineering with Laboratory Exercises

- Materials Engineering
- Internship Mechatronic Basics (usually credited)
- Fundamentals of Engineering Design/CAD
- Engineering Mechanics
- Dynamics
- Fundamentals of Business Administration
- Project and Quality Management
- Applied Informatics
- Business English
- General Scientific Elective Modules 1 and 2, for example "Web design"
- Sensors and Signal Transmission
- Project Seminar and Project Work
- Introduction to Law
- Accounting and Controlling
- Exercises in Digitalisation
- International Decision Making
- Technical Documentation and Applied Writing Skills, e.g. "Business Plan Preparation"
- Technical Elective Modules 1 and 2, e.g. "Usability" or "Software Development"
- Industrial Placement (usually credited)
- Specific Course (usually credited)
- Bachelor Thesis
All modules can also be taken individually as part of the modular study programme.

Studies and organisational matters

So that everything runs smoothly

What do I need to qualify for the programme? When do lectures take place? Is any funding available? Studying while working – how does it work? You can find all the answers here – so that everything runs smoothly.

Teaching is spread over Friday afternoon, 3.15 p.m. - 6.30 p.m., Saturday, 8.15 a.m. - 3.45 p.m. and up to a block week (Monday to Friday) from 8.15 a.m. - 3.45 p.m. daily. The courses that fall on Friday afternoons take place online or hybrid. This enables you to achieve an even better balance between your studies, work and private life. The remaining courses are held in person at the OTH Regensburg. The lecture dates are set well in advance and the time spent on studying can be coordinated with family and employer at an early stage.
The degree programme is accredited and bears the seal of the Accreditation Council.
There are various admission routes, even without the standard university entrance qualification (Abitur):
The admission requirement for the part-time Bachelor of Systems Engineering is completed vocational training and then three years of professional experience in the technical field or further training to become a master craftsman, technician or dual technician. With entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (Fachabitur) or general university entrance qualification (Abitur), you can start studying straight after your training.
