Studying at the Department of Mechanical Engineering
With about 4800 enrolled students (in winter semester
2017/18), the Department of Mechanical Engineering is
one of the largest departments of the Technical University
of Munich (TUM). In terms of teaching, the curricula
which are offered combine classical, in-depth teaching
in mechanical engineering with new aspects such as
cutting-edge technology, interdisciplinary research and the
development of ‘soft skills’ in order to prepare students for
their future professions in research, development and/or
production.
A Bachelor’s degree program and ten Master’s degree
programs (see table) are being offered by the Department
of Mechanical Engineering.
In addition, the Department of Mechanical Engineering
collaborates with other TUM departments and offers
Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs: ‘Teaching
at Vocational Schools – Metal Engineering’ (primary
responsibility: TUM School of Education) and ‘Chem-
ical Engineering’ (Department of Chemistry), Master’s
programs ‘Power Engineering’ (Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering) and ‘Robotics, Cognition,
Intelligence’ (Department of Informatics), the Bachelor’s
program ‘Engineering Sciences’ as well as the Master’s
programs ‘Industrial Biotechnology’ and ‘Human Factors
Engineering’ (Munich School of Engineering).
On the international level, the Department of Mechanical
Engineering participates in the joint Bachelor’s program
‘Engineering Sciences’ with Paris-Lodron University
Salzburg as well as the joint Master’s program ‘Aerospace
Engineering’ with the Nanyang Technological University
(NTU) and the German Institute of Science and Technol-
ogy (GIST) in Singapore. Furthermore, the department
has signed more than 70 ERASMUS agreements with 87
universities in 21 countries and offers 14 double degree
programs with renowned universities such as the École
Centrale Paris, EPFL Lausanne and the KTH Royal
Institute of Technology, Stockholm.
