Mechatronics is the study of modern technical systems that are assembled out of mechanical, electrical, and electronic components and controlled using software. Examples include modern vehicles, household appliances, and robots. The Mechatronics program at the JKU combines education in mechanics, electronics, and computer sciences which students study as one interdisciplinary subject. This broad, interdisciplinary base-knowledge program allows students to quickly immerse themselves in new subject areas and explore new fields as well as fine-tune current technologies. Graduates can pursue careers in a wide range of industrial fields, such as product development, research, management, administration, and/or consulting.
The Bachelor’s degree program in Mechatronics offered at the JKU provides students with a fundamental education in the fields of mathematics, physics, and engineering as well as the opportunity to specialize in a field of choice. Graduates also acquire a strong skill set to work both independently or as part of a team. The opportunity to specialize is one of the program’s unique features and after graduation, students can acquire a more in-depth academic understanding by either pursuing a Master’s degree in Mechatronics or exploring the opportunity to complete a Master’s degree in a related field at the JKU.

About this course
The Mechatronics program offered at the JKU follows grounding principles of:
Mastering the fundamentals of science and engineering
Providing a broad focus on individual disciplines in the field of mechatronics
Demonstrating and reinforcing theoretical content through hands-on exercises, internships, and project work
Providing a wide range of opportunities to specialize in the Master’s programs
The program also emphasizes honing the following skills:
Analyzing and understanding complex mechatronical systems, including mechanical, electrical, and software-related parts as well as their internal processes
Ability to learn about a certain area quickly and consolidate what you have learned
Conducting solution-oriented work both independently and as part of a team
General higher education entrance qualifications (such as an Austrian “Matura” diploma)
Prospective students must submit proof of education in “Descriptive Geometry” (at least four examples). If the applicant did not take “Descriptive Geometry” at the high-school level, he/she will be required to pass a supplementary examination.
Your Benefits:
In-depth, base-knowledge education
Cutting-edge courses in core disciplines (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science)
Countless opportunities to choose electives and specialize according to personal interests
Future-oriented and hands-on education
