Double Degree Programm Bologna

„Study once, cash in twice“

The Faculty of Engineering at UDE has developed a double degree Master's program "Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics)" together with its partner university, the Università di Bologna in Italy. This program is the first double degree program offered at the Faculty of Engineering to UDE students.

The program is developed with funding from DAAD.

Virtual Q&A session on Thursday, 01.02.2024 at 4 p.m.

Dear students,

on Thursday, 01st February 2024 at 4 pm we will offer you a virtual Q&A session around the topics about the double degree program of our faculty "Mechanical Engineering - Mechatronics" with the University of Bologna.

Interested Bachelor students in higher semesters and Master students in a Mechanical Engineering program are invited to join the session.

We are looking forward to your questions about our new double degree program!

A double degree? What is it?

One study course - two degrees

  • M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering (profile Mechatronics from ISE study program)
  • Laurea Magistrale Mechanical Engineering (focus on motorcycles and vehicle engineering)

​
​Two study phases

  • Home phase at UDE in the first academic year
  • Abroad phase at UniBo in the second academic year

Ude+unibo

Advantages

  • Two degrees
  • No tuition fees thanks to cooperation agreement
  • Global engineering: graduates qualify for the international job market
  • Experience abroad: get to know a new culture, a foreign country
  • Study in the Italian "motor valley": Ferrari, Ducati, Lamborghini, etc. are located here
  • Good scholarship opportunities
