Mechatronics
1 cycle
Professional Higher Education study programme
1
General description of the programme
The first cycle program mechatronics is a Professional Higher Education study three year program
with several subjects which can be divided into three main groups. In the first group are basic
science subjects, in the second group specific engineering subjects and in the third group nontechnical subjects. The program provides in the second and the third year a specific subject Project
I and II where students are motivated for solving real engineering tasks. In the third year students
have to work for two months in selected engineering companies outside of the faculty. In this
specific companies they are confronted with real engineering problems and can find there thesis
for the diploma work. The Professional Higher Education study programme Mechatronic “weights”
180 ECTS.
