- Consulting
Potential Employers
The career opportunities are very bright. Potential employers are companies from various industrial sectors like:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Robotics
- Manufacturing
- Material processing
- Energy systems
- Drives
- Printing
- Medical systems
- Consumer products.
The Leading Edge
The multidisciplinary competencies of mechatronics engineers enable them to assume coordination and leading jobs in project teams involving engineers of other disciplines like electrical, mechanical and software engineering. The study programme at THWS is highly practical. The interaction of students with the industry, during the internship and the bachelor’s thesis, normally paves the path to a fascinating career in a national or multinational company.
“In Germany, engineers belong to the groups with top incomes”, reveal the studies carried out by the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung and VDI nachrichten. The engineers are generally more satisfied with their profession than other university graduates.
