Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen

What you'll study

The curriculum builds a solid engineering foundation in mathematics, mechanics, materials and manufacturing, thermodynamics, electrical basics, informatics and measurement technology, then moves into applied mechanical topics and electives.

• Semester 1 (24 SWS, 30 CrP): Mathematik 1; Technische Mechanik 1; Material- und Fertigungstechnologie 1; Konstruktionslehre/CAD; Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik; Naturwissenschaften für Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure.
• Semester 2 (24 SWS, 30 CrP): Mathematik 2; Technische Mechanik 2; Material- und Fertigungstechnologie 2; Technische Thermodynamik; Methoden des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens; Informatik für Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieurinnen.
• Semester 3 (24 SWS, 30 CrP): Mathematik 3; Technische Mechanik 3; Maschinenelemente 1 und 2; Wirtschaftswissen für Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure; Grundlagen der Mess- und Sensortechnik.
• Semesters 4–6 (72 SWS, 90 CrP): Vertiefungen wie Fluidmechanik, Regelungstechnik, Maschinendynamik, Maschinenelemente 3; 3 frei wählbare Module; 10 Module aus dem Wahlpflichtkatalog; Projektarbeit für Maschinenbau.
• Semester 7 (8 SWS, 30 CrP): Berufspraktische Phase (BPP) mit Begleitstudien, Bachelorarbeit und Bachelor-Kolloquium.

A large elective catalogue lists many specialised modules and laboratories (examples: Leichtbau, Elektromotorische Antriebe, Verbrennungsmotoren, Strömungsmaschinen, Werkstoffkunde und Labor, Mechatronische Systeme, Regenerative Energietechnik, Labor für Robotik/Aktorik/Sensorik, progressive Produktionstechniken und weitere). The detailed module listing and weekly hours/credit allocation are in the programme's module handbook.

Entry requirements

The published information indicates the programme is "zulassungsfrei" (no restricted admission). A bilingual study track is available for international students: the first four semesters can be taken in English while students learn German, then courses switch to German after two years; this bilingual route is scheduled over 9 semesters to support language integration. Dual study variants (is+i and is+a) are offered in Friedberg combining company practice and on‑campus teaching.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared to design, plan, develop and produce technical systems and to apply engineering methods across sectors. Typical employers include automotive and supplier industry, machinery and plant engineering, material‑processing firms (notably regionally in Mittelhessen), energy producers, automation and sensor companies, as well as roles in sales and management. The programme emphasises adaptability to new application areas and benefits from demand driven by digitalisation.

Scholarships & funding angle

Specific scholarships are not listed on the programme text. Prospective students pursuing the dual is+i or is+a variants should note those models commonly provide financial support from partner companies; otherwise look to university, regional and national scholarship schemes or employer‑sponsored funding for practice‑integrated routes.
