Quick Overview
Apply Now📘 Program Overview
Elektromobilität is offered as a specialist elective area within the accredited Mechatronics Bachelor of Engineering programme. The programme combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science so that students can understand, design and improve interconnected technical systems.
The specialisation examines the technical implementation and sustainable use of electric and hybrid vehicles. Students study vehicle concepts, battery efficiency, lightweight construction, propulsion systems, vehicle systems, user profiles and integrated energy-supply management.
The part-time route is designed for flexible study over seven semesters. Teaching can be completed predominantly online, while nine compulsory laboratory days in the fifth and sixth semesters provide practical experience with mechatronic systems at Campus Nordhessen.

Career outcomes
- You build a combined foundation in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and software-based control, preparing you for multidisciplinary engineering positions that cannot be filled by narrowly trained specialists.
- You gain specialised knowledge of electric and hybrid vehicles, battery efficiency, propulsion systems and integrated energy concepts, helping you compete for roles in Germany's automotive, mobility and energy industries.
- You develop practical skills through compulsory laboratory work, simulations and applied projects, giving employers evidence that you can analyse and improve real mechatronic systems.
- You can pursue opportunities in electric-vehicle development, alternative drive systems, automation, production engineering, testing, technical diagnostics and engineering project management.
- You graduate with an accredited Bachelor of Engineering qualification that can support employment or postgraduate progression in Germany and internationally.
- You can progress toward specialist, project-lead and engineering-management responsibilities as your experience in electromobility, automation and sustainable technology grows.
Employability rate
Mechatronics and electromobility graduates in Germany can reasonably expect an employability rate of around 90% and an unemployment rate of about 10%, reflecting sustained recruitment across automotive engineering, electrical systems, automation, energy technology and industrial production.
Together, these figures indicate a strong career outlook for graduates who combine broad mechatronics expertise with specialised knowledge of electric vehicles and sustainable propulsion.
✅ Entry Requirements
Academic qualification
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Higher secondary / A-Level | Applicants educated outside Germany need a foreign school-leaving qualification recognised as equivalent to a German higher-education entrance qualification. Depending on the country and qualification, recognised university study completed in the home country may also contribute to direct eligibility. |
| Recognition of foreign qualifications | Foreign educational certificates are assessed for recognition under the applicable German and Hessian requirements. Qualifications and institutions should be recognised in the German anabin system, and the university may submit the documents to the responsible Hessian authority for evaluation. |
| Preparatory route if direct entry is unavailable | Applicants whose school qualification does not provide direct university entrance may need preparatory and language courses followed by the Feststellungsprüfung. Admission to this preparatory route requires an entrance assessment and German proficiency at B1. |
Module matching by study area
| Study area | Match possible? | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Mechatronics | Direct match | Previous recognised study in mechatronics may be assessed for individual credit transfer where learning level, content and workload show no substantial differences. |
| Mechanical Engineering | Related match | Comparable modules in mechanics, construction, machine elements, manufacturing or materials science may be considered individually for recognition. |
| Electrical Engineering | Related match | Comparable modules in electrical engineering, electronics, control systems, measurement technology, sensors or actuators may be reviewed for credit transfer. |
| Computer Science and Automation | Related match | Relevant programming, technical computer science, microcomputer technology, automation or simulation modules may be assessed when their level and workload are equivalent. |
Language requirements
The programme is taught in German. International applicants must provide evidence of German or English language competence at a minimum of B2 for admission documentation; because this specific programme is delivered in German, applicants should provide recognised German-language proof accepted by the university.
💶 Fees & Funding
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | EUR 2004 / per year | The programme catalogue publishes a starting tuition rate of EUR 167 per month. The annual figure is the equivalent of 12 monthly payments; the final payment plan depends on the selected contractual model. |
Proof of financial resources
Applicants who require a German student visa must demonstrate that they can finance their living expenses during their stay. The required proof is separate from the university's tuition charges.
- A blocked account containing at least EUR 11,904 for one year, based on the official 2026 requirement.
- The corresponding monthly amount is EUR 992 when the annual blocked-account amount is released across 12 months.
- A formal declaration of commitment may be accepted as an alternative to a blocked account where the responsible German authority approves it.

📝 How to Apply
Check recognition of your foreign qualification
Confirm that your school-leaving certificate provides direct access to a German university of applied sciences. Review its classification through the official German recognition system and include any completed university study that may affect your eligibility. Applicants without direct access may need to complete a preparatory programme and the Feststellungsprüfung. Contact the university's International Office before applying when the status of your Bangladeshi qualification is unclear.
Prepare certified application documents
Collect your school certificates, mark sheets, passport copy, curriculum vitae and any university records. Educational documents must be submitted as officially certified copies, with certified German translations when the originals are in another language. Prepare recognised language evidence at the required level and complete the university's study contract. Make sure names, dates and qualification details are consistent across every document.
- Foreign secondary-school certificate with subjects and grades
- Previous university records where applicable
- Certified German translations where required
- Passport or other accepted identity document
- Language certificate and curriculum vitae
Complete the online registration
Submit the registration through the official DIPLOMA Hochschule online form. Select the Mechatronics Bachelor of Engineering programme and indicate Elektromobilität as the intended elective specialisation. Applications can be made throughout the year, although the regular study groups begin on 1 April and 1 October. Submit early enough for the university and the responsible authority to evaluate foreign educational documents.
Complete the eligibility and document review
The university reviews your documents and verifies whether the admission requirements for the programme are satisfied. Foreign qualifications may require evaluation by the responsible Hessian authority before final enrolment can be confirmed. Respond promptly if the admissions team requests additional certificates, translations or clarification. Credit-transfer requests for previous technical study should be submitted with detailed module descriptions and workload evidence.
Accept admission and prepare for enrolment
After a positive assessment, follow the university's instructions for completing enrolment and activating your student access. Confirm your selected tuition-payment model and retain the signed contract and admission documents for your records. Applicants planning to study from Germany should use the admission documentation for their visa, accommodation and financial-proof preparations. The regular semester begins on 1 April or 1 October, although entry into an ongoing group may be considered individually.
