At our Aurich site, we will be offering this dual study program over 8 semesters together with the Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences in 2026.
On the "Mechanical Engineering and Design" degree course, you will combine basic technical knowledge with specialized know-how in the areas of construction, manufacturing, product development and design. You will learn how modern machines and products are developed, optimized and put into practice - from the first sketch to the finished product.Â
You can specialize in the higher semesters:
- focus on mechanical engineering with plant engineering, construction and production technology
- focus on product development and design
Checklist - Is this dual study program right for you?
You enjoy math and physics - mechanical engineering is based on mathematical and physical principles. Logical thinking is required here!
You are interested in technology & design - whether construction, production or product development - you want to understand how technology works and design it.
