ET - Mechanical Engineering


Regarding your background & the subjects of the courses you can choose
please read this text.

Regarding pre-requisites:
note that admittance to any module or course is always subject to fulfilment of the pre-requisites of that module or course, which can be found in the course catalogue. If the module information is not yet available for the upcoming academic year, please search under the previous academic year.

  • Bachelor level

    The general rule at the UT 
    Bachelor students must select entire BSc modules (packages), including all courses from that module.
    Modules are well-balanced, structured sets of courses created around a theme and provide in 15 ECTS of courses. More information can be found at the main page.

    Rules for Mechanical Engineering
    Mechanical Engineering is the only study program at the UT that allows Bachelor students to take separate courses from ME modules. See the options at the bottom of the page and pay special attention to the extra information.

    Below you can find the modules and courses open to Exchange students. 
    If a module or course is not mentioned below, you cannot choose it, even when visible in the course catalogue.  

    Additionally, in case you are nominated to a study program related to ET faculty:
    - you are allowed to also take modules from other study programmes within the ET faculty
    - you are allowed to take one module from another faculty, if desired. 
    Please be aware that selecting courses from different modules can be challenging, and it may be nearly impossible to choose courses from other study programs, as they do not follow the same rules. Therefore, if you wish to select courses from different modules, you can only choose from the ME study program.

    SEPARATE COURSES

    Find the list of courses you can follow without taking the entire module below.
    One course can differ from the other in regards of the amount of ECTS. It might therefore be hard choosing separate courses with a total of 15 ECTS per quartile, instead of choosing pre set-up modules. It might be even harder (if not impossible) to choose courses from both ME study field and other study field, as within other study fields you have to choose entire modules. 

    If you wish to take separate courses from different ME modules there might be colission in time schedule for lectures or exams. We will not provide in any solutions when this happens. That is the risk of taking courses from different modules in one quartile, therefore we do not advise to do so. If you truly wish to do so, check the list below:

  • Master level

    Regular courses
    The MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering offers several specialisations within its curriculum. You can explore them here, under the link 'course overview [academic year]'.

    Please note that the curriculum shown is for the current year, and course offerings may change in the upcoming semester. As long as the current year's curriculum is displayed, we cannot guarantee the availability of specific courses for next academic year.

    Be aware that the schedules within each specialisation are coordinated. We cannot ensure schedule compatibility if you choose courses from different specialisations.

    Additionally, if you plan to include courses from another faculty, please keep in mind the 60/40% rule.

    Master-Insert courses:
    Next to our regular programme, the UT offers so-called Master-Insert courses: Shaping Responsible Futures programmes. 
    You'll learn to transcend disciplinary boundaries. You'll connect science to society by collaborating with real-world stakeholders. And, you'll build confidence as a responsible change-maker.
    (You'll need an additional registration for these courses. Once approved by the Exchange Coordinator on your Learning Agreement, you can register for these courses through the Master-Insert link).
