Intelligent interaction
Are you creative and enjoy mechanics, data processing and electronics? Then MDP is the right place for you! Whether it's industrial robots, autonomous vehicles or networked machines – intelligent components and systems are integrated into almost all technical products and applications. And the trend is continuing – factories will be networked and digital in the future, processes will be automated and systems will be intelligent. We'll give you the interdisciplinary know-how you need to help shape this development with your ideas!
Programme content and structure
The mechatronics programme on the Tuttlingen Campus focuses in particular on the challenges of developing intelligent systems and modern, digitalised production. It is based on a broad range of fundamentals from mechanical engineering and the important content of electrical engineering and computer science for mechatronics and production technology.
Entry requirements
To study MDP, you need a university entrance qualification.
However, there are also opportunities to study with us without an Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, for example if you have vocational training and at least three years of professional experience and can qualify for a degree programme via an aptitude test.

Special features
Study model with company commitment
We also offer the MDP bachelor's degree programme on the Tuttlingen Campus as a so-called "industrial degree". This means that you can combine vocational training and studies and earn money right from the start. In addition, these study models naturally give you even deeper practical insights and build a particularly close relationship with your industrial company.
These options are available:
- Study Plus combines studying with vocational training in 9 semesters (qualifications: IHK skilled worker certificate and Bachelor of Science)
- The industrial degree programme combines the degree programme with vocational training in 9 semesters and also offers a lot of practical relevance through industry modules and the option of a stay abroad (qualifications: IHK skilled worker certificate and Bachelor of Science)
- The trainee programme combines in-depth practical experience with full-time study
- The individual part-time study programme enables you to combine work and study
Your career prospects
MDP graduates develop intelligent systems, design robotics solutions and implement them. They design strategies and implement technologies for the intelligent, networked, digital factory (smart factory). They provide important impetus for the automation and digitalisation of devices, processes, systems and machines. The demand for specialists in companies is therefore correspondingly high – higher than the supply.
Possible fields of work
- Development and design of digitalized mechatronic systems
- Development and introduction of digitalized production processes
- Commissioning of complex systems
- Assembly and automation technology
- Implementation of automation solutions
Or would you rather continue your studies?
The bachelor's degree is the first step on your academic path. If you don't want to go straight into a career, you can gain further qualifications with a Master's degree. On the Tuttlingen Campus, for example, we offer a Master's in Mechatronic Systems, which could be the perfect complement to your MDP bachelor's degree.
