Please note: Before applying to the university, you need to first apply to receive your VPD via uni-assist. You can do so throughout the year, but it takes at least six weeks to receive your VPD from uni-assist. So in order to meet the university application deadlines, you will need to apply for your VPD as early as possible.
For people who are passionate about technology and science, the Mechanical Engineering degree course is the course for them. In our binational study programme, students are taught the basics and specialist knowledge, improve their language skills and learn how to work in a team in an international environment.
With a German-French Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, the doors to the two largest European job markets will be wide open. Companies in countries speaking these two languages need to tackle the challenges of the future – and they can only do so with technical innovations and international talent like you. Students will undertake a placement in France to get to know the country and gain valuable experience and contacts at an industrial company there.
In the BSc Mechanical Engineering programme, students will receive a solid university education that prepares them to work in the development and manufacturing of new products throughout their entire life cycle: from the planning phase to design and production to the final commissioning of machines or entire industrial plants. Peripheral processes, such as sales, also often provide outlets for engineers and could well be right up your alley if you like dealing with people.
First year
Students will spend the first year (first and second semesters) of the course of study in Metz (France) at the Université de Lorraine.
Second year
The second year (third and fourth semesters) takes place in Saarbrücken (Germany) at the htw saar.
Third year
Students can spend the fifth semester either in Metz or do an Erasmus+ exchange semester at one of our university partners abroad. During the sixth semester, students complete an internship and write the Bachelor's thesis.
Students complete an internship at a company of their choice at the end of their studies, i.e. in the sixth semester. The company must not be in the country of their mother tongue.
