Fascination for the subject of Mechanical Engineering consists in the implementation and application of a broad spectrum of scientific and technological foundations with the aim of developing products ready for mass production out of first ideas. Technical expertise, basic economic knowledge, guidance towards independence and personal responsibility as well as awareness of the issues of technological consequences for the environment and society prepare graduates of Mechanical Engineering at Graz University of Technology for a diverse and promising field of activity.

Mechanical engineers are frequently employed in the automotive and parts industry, in classical mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and in the food-processing industry. The Mechanical Engineering bachelor´s programme enables graduates to continue studying areas of concentration in all fields of mechanical engineering.

Mechanical engineering is a modern field of study with a strong tradition. Through implementing and applying a broad spectrum of scientific and technological foundations, students learn to develop products from the idea stage to mass production. The scientific part of the programme includes, for instance, mathematics, physics and chemistry, while the technological part covers materials science, thermodynamics and design. A basic knowledge of economic science is also imparted to the future graduate engineer.

Innovative technologies, such as computer science, electronics, simulation technology, measuring technology and control engineering are an integral part of the course. Apart from an outline of general mechanical engineering, exemplary areas of concentration are offered in the following subject areas:

* Production technology
* Computational engineering & mechatronics
* Motor and drive technology
* Automotive engineering and safety
* Energy technology.

The programme contains a good balance of practical laboratory work and theoretical design. Cutting-edge computer procedures, virtual prototyping, various simulation methods and computer-aided development techniques support students in their studies. Mechanical engineering graduates are universal specialists with interdisciplinary knowledge, the ability to think in networks, and openness to life-long learning.


Contents

The Mechanical Engineering bachelor´s programme comprises six semesters and is divided into two parts. The entire bachelor´s programme comprises 180 ECTS credits. Graduates are awarded the academic degree of "Bachelor of Science" (BSc).

In the second part, composed of four semesters, an in-depth expansion of the basic knowledge is undertaken. Students also attend introductory courses in electrical and electronic engineering, economic sciences, design and machining, and design and engineering bas.

The three-semester master's programmes in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and Production Science and Management all build on the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering bachelor´s programmes.

Requirements

1. The general university entrance qualification:

a. Austrian secondary school leaving certificate

b. University entrance qualification certificate

c. a foreign certificate that is nostrified in Austria or a secondary school leaving certificate that is accepted as being equivalent based upon the rector´s decision

d. a certificate that proves you have completed at least a three-year course of study at an accredited Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational institution (e.g. university of applied sciences study programmes)

2. The special university entrance qualification

This concerns supplementary examinations to those secondary school leaving certificates issued in Austria, (e.g. "descriptive geometry" supplementary examination). Those who have foreign secondary school leaving certificates have to prove that they have the right to a study place in the same study programme in the country which issued the secondary school leaving examination.

3. German proficiency

Persons, whose first language is not German, have to prove German proficiency. If you cannot present proof of this, then you have to take a supplementary examination, which has to be completed before admission to a degree study programme.

Additional Requirements
