Mechanical engineering

Careers

The Profession

Our dual study program in mechanical engineering combines the strengths of a degree program at the established Jade University with the advantages of an apprenticeship at a globally leading raw materials company. In eight semesters, you will learn the basics of mechanical engineering as well as specific knowledge in theory and practice.

As a mechanical engineer, you typically work in the development and design of machinery and equipment. Your future work may involve everything from conceptualization and initial design to prototyping and production, whether it’s developing new technologies or improving and optimizing existing ones. In your daily work, you will collaborate closely with a team of engineers.

About the Training Program

With us, you will learn about the areas of development, design, production planning, and quality assurance. You will gain in-depth insights into the technical processes of our company. Experienced engineers will prepare you for the demands of the profession. You will actively participate in real projects and take on additional responsibilities in mechanical design.

The standard duration of study is 4 years. The degree and qualification goal of the program is the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.).

We expect the completion of the general university entrance qualification with good grades in Mathematics, German, English/Technical English, and Physics. Additionally, you should demonstrate a strong willingness to learn, the ability to work independently, flexibility, logical-analytical thinking, interest in international collaboration, and a solid understanding of technical concepts. Ideally, you have already gained experience in working with computer applications (CAD programs).
