Study Plan M.S. in Mechatronics Engineering

DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM

Faculty of Engineering Credit Hours (46). Degree Description:

This is a double degree program (DD) between Philadelphia

University (PU) and Bochum Applied Science University (BO),

Germany. Students are expected to do their courses and thesis

at PU with research (one semester) at BO. Students will then get

two degrees: one from PU and one from BO. The program is a

result of TEMPUS-JIM2L project.

Students also have the option to get single degree program

from PU (SD).

Conditions for Admission:

1. A B.S. degree from an accredited university with one of the

following areas: Mechatronics, Electrical, Communication,

Electronic, Mechanical, Industrial, or Computer

Engineering.

2. A G.P.A. of “good” or above

3. A score of 500+ in the TOEFL exam (or equivalent)

4. An Interview

Non-mechatronics B.S. students will have to study a maximum

of 9 extra hours from the list below:

Computer: Electrical Machines, Power Electronics,

Mechanical Design, PLC and Mechatronic System Design.

Electrical / Electronics / Communications: Modeling and

Simulation, Mechanical Design, Microcontroller Systems,

PLC and Mechatronic Systems Design.
