Mechanical Engineering

About this programme

At the Mechanical Engineering programme, you learn to develop and design products, machines and technical systems that actually work. At VIA, you will get a technically strong education founded in actual application. Here, you will build solid understanding of materials, mechanics and construction behaviour. You will work with the entire development process - from idea and digital modelling to proto type, test and final solution. Through exercises in our tech labs, digital simulations and automation tasks, you will learn to optimise function, sustainability and production. You will also gain skills in project management, cross professional collaboration and technical problem solution, which will enable you to translate theory into concrete, usable solutions. Programme structure: 1st semester: Mechanics and technical documentation 2nd semester: Machine design and materials 3rd semester: Machine elements and electrical engineering 4th semester: Automation, energy and business 5th semester: Internship 6th and 7th semester: Specialisation and bachelor's project Career options As a graduate of Mechanical Engineering, you are ready for the labour market and have many different career options. With a degree in mechanical engineering, you can apply for jobs such as Construction Engineer, Development Engineer, Project Manager, Energy Consultant, Environmental Consultant or Production Manager.
