Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Vocational Education and Training – Mechatronics

Overview

During this six-semester programme, students acquire the skills that enable them to undertake tasks in the areas of planning, organising and delivering initial vocational training and continuing vocational education and training. Upon completion of the programme, graduates are entitled to use the academic title of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.).

The programme focuses, on the one hand, on specialist subject matter with an emphasis on mechatronic applications and, on the other, on the fields of vocational pedagogy and vocational studies. In terms of content, the programme is structured in such a way as to offer graduates who wish to pursue a higher university qualification further alternatives to entering the workforce immediately.

It is aimed at individuals with a school-leaving qualification entitling them to university entry, as well as professionally qualified applicants without such a qualification (e.g. technicians, master craftsmen).

The programme is a single-subject degree programme (6 semesters).

It is recommended that students complete at least part of their work placement before commencing the programme. To qualify for the B.Sc. in Vocational Education – Mechatronics, students must complete a 26-week work placement alongside their studies. This requirement does not apply to applicants who have completed a vocational training programme.
