Dual Study Programme – Mechanical Engineering, Start Autumn 2027

Theory and deepened practice – together with Aalen University of Applied Sciences we combine this perfect duo in our dual study programmes. As a prospective mechanical engineer you learn everything about the development and production of complex machines and systems. Design theory, electrical engineering as well as thermodynamics and materials science are important basic subjects. Later you can work everywhere where machines are used and monitored, new machines are developed and built. You organise and optimise production processes in a team and deal with how to draw designs, record them digitally and implement them in reality.

• Become part of dynamic teams and jointly drive forward various projects at ZEISS
• Various fields of application such as development and design, production as well as factory and production planning
• Career prospects in design areas and test departments
• Acquire diverse experience and apply theoretically learned skills and competencies in global business areas parallel to studies
• Broad engineering basic education
• Based on classical physics learn technical mechanics, thermodynamics and materials science and building on that further aspects such as design, simulation and material modelling
• Possibility to specialise in the area of design and development

• Abitur (general or subject-specific) or Fachhochschulreife (university of applied sciences entrance qualification)
• Ability to think in contexts
• Enjoyment of working with different technical processes and materials
• High level of commitment and self-motivation
• Team, communication and problem-solving skills
