The only online mechanical engineering degree course at a German state institution of higher education
The degree course Mechanical Engineering Online (B. Eng.) is developed for professionals and prospective students with relevant work experience and is offered as an online degree course.
The degree course Mechanical Engineering (B. Eng.), which is not an online course can be found here.
You will attain and further enhance your knowledge in the basics of general engineering in the Bachelor degree course Mechanical Engineering Online (M-Online) and in the areas of product development and industrial production. Another focus is on modern methods and tools which are applied in the industry, e.g. computer-assisted construction and manufacture (CAD, NC) or adaptive production procedures.
Goal of the degree course is to equip its students with broad technical and methodological competencies in the field of mechanical engineering and along with interdisciplinary competencies in the sense of a professional qualification. A well-founded engineer training is offered as an undergraduate mechanical engineering training with the curriculum.
At the same time interdisciplinary competence fields are evoked: followed by a connection of the learning content of engineering science with business administration, electrical engineering, computer science, social competence (interdisciplinary Studium Generale), as well as knowledge of technical English in the relevant fields.
Practical relevance is taught through an intensive application-orientation of theoretically taught content. Our institution of higher education offers lab work, practical computer training and construction exercises. The practical phase and the bachelor's thesis is usually completed in collaboration with an industrial company. This way insight into the current research state and the foundation of scientific work is provided. Close contacts with the industry ensure the practical relevance and topicality of the degree course at all times.
The conveyed competencies will allow the students to detect problems, analyze independent technical engineering tasks and successfully implement these solutions into marketable products. Present technologies are to be appropriately deployed in order to maximize company success.

Course of studies
The degree course Mechanical Engineering Online is offered at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences as an online degree course in the frame of Virtual Institution of Higher Education (Virtuelle Fachhochschule (VFH), that means that the modules and lectures are offered via e-learning, video conferences etc. only roughly 20 percent of the lectures must be attended at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. The phases were the students must be present, are mainly on Fridays and Saturdays. The students may decide in each semester independently what and how many modules they would like to take.
Therefore, this degree course is extremely suitable to be completed alongside of work. The high level of flexibility allows the compatability of family, profession and studying.
Graduates receive after a regular course of studies of seven semesters the academic degree "Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.)".
A media fee of €78.00 (€53.00 for BAföG-recipients) is charged for the use of the online offers. The fee must be paid upon registration in the individual modules.
Core electives
You will find the elective module offer of your study program on our learning platform CampUAS. There you can find out about the modules and enroll directly in the corresponding courses.
