The best career prospects:

Our hot tip for all technology fans: The Department of Mechanical Engineering now offers the new English-language Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. A really exciting field of research for all high-flyers. Courses are also held in cooperation with ESOC (European Space Operations Center). In addition to the basics in fluid dynamics and flight mechanics, there are also many exciting practice-oriented tutorials, for example on cockpit design or additive manufacturing. There is also already a blog post about the Aerospace Engineering degree programme , so check it out!

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering also has a new Master's programme with a super exciting focus: Civil Engineering. This programme is bilingual (English and German), interdisciplinary and internationally oriented. Have you studied civil engineering in your Bachelor's degree and would like to get involved with sustainable planning and implementation of construction projects? Then take a look at the department's website. You can choose your own focus in many elective modules. By the way, international cooperation, even across disciplinary borders, is particularly important at Civil Engineering.

We have exciting research collaborations not only internationally, but also within the Rhine-Main region. A great example of this is Biomedical Engineering, a degree programme offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in cooperation with Goethe University in Frankfurt. Biomedical Engineering teaches you both technical and medical basics and allows you to research new technologies that could save lives in the future. In her blog post about her studies , Jennifer is particularly convinced of the great practical relevance of the course.
