What it is

The first year covers mathematics, physics, computer science, design fundamentals and CAD, with English taught throughout. The second year moves to dynamics, kinematics, elasticity, strength of materials and manufacturing technology, and the third to hydromechanics, thermomechanics, machine design elements and automation, ending in a bachelor project. Design work, CAD and hands-on manufacturing sit beside theory. In the last year you can lean toward aerospace, automotive, power engineering or materials physics, ahead of specialising at master's level.

What you need

  • Maths and physics entrance exam, waived for a top-50% Scio result; English B1 (a school letter that you were taught in English is enough).
