The course is located at the intersection of mechanical engineering and industrial design. As a Bachelor of Technical Design you will study the best of both worlds and drive the development of industrial products both from a technical and artistic point of view. In your job, you will interact closely with other disciplines as part of a team. As a designer, you think in terms of comprehensive product concepts and interact closely with customers.

The Technical Design course is offered by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics. In contrast to courses of study at other Bavarian universities, it is much more technically oriented. Accordingly, your degree is also a Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.).

From the field of engineering, competences are imparted which form the basis of technical product development. This includes mathematics, mechanics, design, materials engineering and production engineering.

In the area of creative design you will learn the basics of perception and design as well as the necessary art historical and cultural backgrounds. You will also gain insight into the diverse methods and materials available for the design of industrial products. Basic knowledge in business administration and brand management rounds off your range of skills.

Your studies develop from teaching theoretical basics in the first semesters to specific topics and the application or practice of acquired competences in the following semesters. Project work plays a central role in this. Here you will experience the diversity and complexity of a development process live and learn to master it. Some of the courses are offered in English, which underlines the intercultural orientation of the program and increases your attractiveness as a Bachelor of Engineering on the job market.
