Structure of the study program
The Master in Mechatronic and Micro-Mechatronic Systems program consists of 4 semesters and starts annually in winter semester.
The first year of study is spent at the HKA. Here you will attend mechatronics lectures with specialization in micro-mechatronics and language courses.
In the second year, from the third semester onwards, you will study a specialization at an EU4M partner institution abroad.
