Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

The Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Practical experience is promoted in modern laboratories and through project-oriented work. The integration of current research into teaching and international exchange opportunities extend the degree programme. As a result, students receive a comprehensive education that optimally combines theory and practice.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

The Master´s degree programme is an interdisciplinary study offer that uniformly presents and teaches the methods and in-depth knowledge from the disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science as well as geodesy. This includes the most important principles and procedures for the function-oriented analysis of mechatronic systems as well as a description of the essential principles of action for the components used to synthesise such systems. Mechatronic systems are created by the interaction of mechanical, electronic and information technology elements.

Special features regarding the international orientation

The international orientation is promoted through various partnerships with universities worldwide, which opens up exchange opportunities for students. Programmes such as Erasmus+ allow students to spend semesters abroad to gain international experience. In addition, selected courses are offered in English in order to appeal to international students and to promote English as a technical language. Guest lectures and projects with an international focus expand students' perspectives and prepare them for global challenges.

Special features regarding the equipment

Technical support services: Laboratories, workshops, Stud.IP, LUH-ILIAS, flowcasts, conference tools: BigBlueButton, WebEx Meetings/Training/Events, OPENCAST studio, MELT community

Special features regarding research activities

Students are involved in innovative research projects that focus on current technological challenges. Research focuses on robotics, autonomous systems, sensor and actuator technology, and networked mechatronic systems. Current projects include the development of intelligent robot systems and advanced control engineering. Students work with interdisciplinary teams and gain access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. These projects offer valuable insights into applied research and promote a practice-oriented education.
