Master degree programme Mechatronics offers a carefully selected blend of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Cybernetics, and Computer Engineering. The range of available courses includes subjects like design and control of electrical drives, big data mining, artificial intelligence techniques, computer vision, smart technologies, advanced automatic control theory, renewable power sources and many others. Such multidisciplinary education is particularly important in this time of ongoing fourth industrial revolution. Thanks to this education the graduates have excellent career prospects in the smart factories of future as well as in research and public institutions. Optionally this study programme can be provided in cooperation with the University of Applied Studies Zittau/Görlitz in Germany. Students who choose this option will be awarded with two master’s degrees: from the Technical University of Liberec and from the University of Applied Studies Zittau/Görlitz.
Programme Details
This master degree study programme takes two years and it is divided into 4 semesters (120 credits). The first three semesters always have 14 weeks of scheduled teaching, the last fourth semester is shortened to 10 weeks. First and second semester courses are always taught at the Technical University of Liberec. After successful completion of the first two semesters, each student can choose whether he/she prefers to spend the second year of study at the Technical University of Liberec (TUL) or at the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz (HSZG). Students who decide to study this second year in Zittau will first receive the Master’s degree from the University of Applied Sciences. They must pass exams in all courses and to defend their diploma thesis successfully to get this degree. After getting the degree from HSZG, they can take the final state exam at TUL and if they are successful they will be awarded with the master’s degree from TUL. It is important to note that they take the exam only because they defended their diploma thesis at HSZG. Students who choose to study the second year at TUL will take final state exam and defend the diploma thesis at TUL and they will be awarded with the master’s degree from TUL only.
