Technical Education – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

What can you expect during your studies?

60 percent of the basic study period is located at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and includes lectures in technical mechanics, design and materials science as well as scientific lectures and basic electrical engineering. In order to deepen and test theoretical knowledge, laboratory work is planned in courses such as Electrical Engineering and Materials Science. In the course of the bachelor's programme, a 52-week company internship must be completed. Contents should be basics in metalworking.

In addition, an 80-hour school internship in vocational pedagogy must be completed, during which the first lessons are prepared, planned and carried out. In addition to teaching and learning methods, vocational pedagogy also provides students with psychological knowledge. Subject-specific content is provided for the teaching subject, depending on the student's choice. At the end of the bachelor's programme, a bachelor's thesis must be written. The various institutes of mechanical engineering or/and the Institute for Vocational Science of Metal Technology are suitable for this. Detailed information can be found on the website of the Leibniz School of Education.

Duration and conclusion

As a rule, the course of study takes 6 semesters. After passing the bachelor thesis you will receive the degree Bachelor of Science.

Apply at the Leibniz University of Hannover.
