Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.)

The modules taught during the foundation course (semesters 1 and 2) familiarise you with the fundamental technical and scientific principles.

The advanced course (3rd to 7th semester) include a practical semester (5th semester). During the 3rd and 4th semester, you will learn further core skills in mechanical engineering, before move on to very practically focused and advanced modules in the 6th and 7th semester.

You can choose from our extensive catalogue of compulsory elective modules to expand your knowledge in the direction you wish. Your bachelor’s thesis then rounds off your studies. You can work on either a task set by the university or a topic that’s currently relevant in a particular company, which will help you forge useful contacts with a potential future employer.

During the practical semester (5th), you will learn the ropes of professional engineering by tackling practical tasks. The spectrum of activities ranges from development and design through to sales and consultancy.

Upon successfully completing the programme, the university of applied sciences will award you the academic degree of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) .

Would you like to combine study and practice? With pleasure! Kempten University of Applied Sciences offers you the following dual study options:

1. studies with in-depth practical experience – practical and flexible! In the study programme with in-depth practice, a regular Bachelor's programme at the university is combined with intensive practical phases at the practice partner, based on the study content. Students can enter this dual study option up to the 4th semester. 
2. combined studies – a practical combination of study and work! With a combined study programme, you can acquire a fully recognised vocational qualification within your Bachelor's degree. This double qualification is particularly attractive for many companies!
