Entrance requirements
What we expect from you
It should not be news to you that an engineering degree course places high demands on students. Good comprehension skills, enthusiasm, perseverance, the ability to work in a team and a good command of English should be a matter of course for you.
For this course of study, we also expect a good dose of passion for the automobile.
Authorization
Admission to the Master's degree program requires a qualified Bachelor's degree in the fields of
- mechanical engineering,
- plastics engineering
- mechatronics,
- process engineering
with an overall grade of at least "good" (2.5) is required. The Examination Board may also recognize other university degrees that are deemed equivalent as admission requirements.
In particular, the degree "Diplom-Ingenieur" (university / university of applied sciences) in the field of general mechanical engineering or another mathematical, scientific or technical field related to general mechanical engineering and a sufficient proportion of subjects from the field of general mechanical engineering is considered a recognizable degree.
In justified cases, participation in and successful completion of preparatory courses may be imposed.
If a student holds a "Diplom-Ingenieur" degree (university or university of applied sciences) in the above-mentioned fields, individual modules or courses of the Master's degree course may be recognized upon application in accordance with §19 ABPO, provided that the scientific requirements of the Master's degree course are met. The Examination Board will decide on the application on a case-by-case basis.
Further admission requirements according to §6 para. 2 BBPO
In accordance with Section 6 (2) BBPO, further admission requirements may be defined by the Examination Board. In particular, participation in and successful completion of preparatory courses may be imposed.

In addition to a grade of at least 2.5, the following qualifications must be proven before admission:
| Technical Mechanics | at least 15 CP |
| Machine Elements | at least 15 CP |
| Materials engineering | at least 10 CP |
| Thermodynamics | at least 7.5 CP |
| Control engineering | at least 7.5 CP |
| Machine dynamics | at least 7.5 CP |
Recognition of academic achievements
The recognition of credits and proven competencies is carried out in accordance with the recognition statutes of Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.
