We combine theory and practice with innovative teaching methods, individual supervision and state-of-the-art equipment. Focus areas such as digitalisation and the simulation of technical processes optimally prepare students for Industry 4.0. Thanks to strong collaborations with companies and international programmes such as "International Mechanical Engineering", we offer a practice- and future-oriented education. Sustainability, intercultural exchange and state-of-the-art laboratories promote an education that goes beyond specialist knowledge and trains responsible engineers

The Master's degree programmes in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offer a practice- and research-oriented education at the highest level. The focus is on digitalisation and the simulation of complex processes, complemented by interdisciplinary projects and close cooperation with industry. Small groups enable intensive supervision and individual specialisation. Our graduates benefit from state-of-the-art laboratories, an international orientation and optimal career opportunities in future-oriented industries.

With the "International Mechanical Engineering" degree course, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences offers an excellent opportunity for international students to study Mechanical Engineering in English (also possible for German students). Our global orientation is also reflected in numerous partnerships, exchange programmes and intercultural projects that open up international perspectives for students. This not only strengthens teaching, but also international cooperation in research and industry.

The technical equipment includes an analytics centre with material science analysis equipment such as tensile testing machines, light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. A large hot air autoclave is located at the Technology Campus Neustadt, while the "3D printing centre" at the Technology Campus Parsberg-Lupburg houses numerous 3D printers. Two large-scale German Research Foundation (DFG) devices complete the equipment: A micro-CT and a scanning electron microscope. Access to equipment at other institutions is not known. There are no subject-specific databases, instead emphasis is placed on practical applications.

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences (OTH) is characterised by practice-oriented research in digitalisation and process simulation. At the Parsberg-Lupburg Technology Campus, new materials are being researched in digitalised manufacturing environments. The Neustadt an der Donau Technology Campus focuses on lightweight materials and material simulation. These institutions strengthen our research activities and promote the transfer of knowledge into industry. https://www.tc-neustadt-donau.de/, https://www.campus-parsberg.de/

By introducing our two degree programmes – Digital Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Sustainable Energy and Hydrogen Systems – the faculty has taken a major step towards sustainability. Our faculty works closely with the Regensburg University of Applied Sciences (OTH) Green Office, e.g. on events (most recently Soil Day 2024). 40 modern laboratories (8,100 sqm) and 2 Tec.Campi, a great deal of research and exchange with industry. Close cooperation with schools (FOS/BOS Regensburg) – school students receive courses – events for applicants/Girls Days/STEM days...
