With your Bachelor of Mechatronics, many doors will open to you, because after graduation you will be trained as an all-round talent who is urgently needed in many industries. Whether in the automotive industry, medical technology, aerospace or mechanical and plant engineering - the choice is yours, because the demand for mechatronics engineers is very high. The job profile calls for employees who think ahead and want to meet the demands of an automated and digitalised society, so it's made for you. For example, you may become:
Your daily business as a service engineer will include the inspection, maintenance and repair of machines and systems on site at your client's premises. You may also be responsible for writing operating manuals or training other specialists on the machines and systems themselves.
Your employers will be either industrial companies where you will be directly employed or independent quality assurance companies. In your role as a quality manager, you will ensure compliance with all important standards and specifications. You will check mechatronic systems for potential weaknesses and, in the event of a necessary rework, you will ensure that the process is carried out professionally.
As a mechatronics technician in construction, you will not only take care of the commissioning, testing, maintenance and repair of machines, but also the installation of control software. In your role as a mechatronics engineer, you will also develop mechanical, electrical and electronic components and then assemble them into mechatronic systems.
You can complete your Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics in a dual studies programme. Here you can find out how your studies at IU work and what your advantages are in the dual studies model.

For your Mechatronics studies at the IU, the numerus clausus (NC) from the Abitur or Fachabitur is irrelevant. You can be admitted directly to our dual Bachelor's programme. Even in the individual counselling interview with your study advisor, your strengths are in the foreground and not a number.
You can complete the dual study programme in Mechatronics at IU in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Hamburg. The start date is in October.
Yes, this is also possible at IU. In addition to the entrance qualification in the form of an Abitur or Fachabitur, interested students without an Abitur also have the opportunity to enter our Bachelor's programme. You can study Mechatronics without an Abitur if you are a state-certified technician/business economist, have a master craftsman's certificate or have completed at least two years of vocational training and have at least three years of related work experience.
The Mechatronics Bachelor's degree at IU lasts 7 semesters.
The short answer: yes. The turnover of the mechanical and plant engineering industry in Germany, for example, has been over 200 billion euros for years. And it is precisely in this sector that mechatronics engineers are needed for the development, repair and maintenance of systems. Exciting future prospects also await mechatronics professionals in information and medical technology. The trend towards smart homes and automation also makes Mechatronics a degree programme with a future. These are just a few examples of many.
Our free student advisory service has all the answers for you! We take the time to advise you individually and without obligation.
Because you are interested in Technology and want to learn how things work down to the smallest detail. Quite apart from your personal self-realisation, a Mechatronics degree brings tangible advantages. With a Bachelor's degree, more and above all more lucrative career options are open to you. Your specialist knowledge and your subject-related skills from your studies are also helpful if you want to secure your dream job. And with a Bachelor's degree, you're qualified for higher positions.
Learning is fun. All your life long. Because when you expand your knowledge and skills, you invest in yourself. That feels wonderful. Especially when students are the focus, as they are at IU.
During your Mechatronics studies at IU, you deal with engineering topics and acquire interdisciplinary skills. In particular, you can expect mathematical and scientific basics such as Physics and Mathematics and engineering topics such as Statics, Materials Science and Technical Thermodynamics. You will also learn about the design and analysis of technical systems. You will gain important insights into computer science, use current software tools and learn programming with C/C++ .
With your Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, many doors will be open to you, because after graduation you will be trained as an all-rounder who is urgently needed in many industries. Whether in the automotive industry, medical technology, aerospace or mechanical and plant engineering - you have the choice, because the demand for mechatronics engineers is very high.
The job profile calls for employees who think in a forward-looking way and want to meet the demands of an automated and digitalised society, so it's perfect for you.
