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
