Mechanical engineering

Study concept

Whether in private households or in Industry 4.0 - machines have become an integral part of our daily lives. Mechanical engineers solve questions relating to the development, production, and operation of machines and systems in all areas of the economy. Due to the classic broad education, mechanical engineering is one of the most popular engineering disciplines and is in constant demand in the labor market.

In addition to the general technical basics, the degree course at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg offers industry-neutral specializations as well as specializations for specific areas of application, such as energy systems or gas technology. A total of ten specializations are possible. Students choose one of these according to their personal inclinations and career aspirations. A student research project and a specialized internship in research institutions and companies provide the necessary practical experience. A wide range of placements are available in Germany and abroad. A plus in Freiberg is the personal support and the very good practical relevance through research collaborations with industrial partners, which makes it easier to start a career.
