In a globalized world, networking is tool. Build your own toolkit for success!
Graduates in specialized fields of expertise are immensely sought after. Through three individual focus areas or tracks, prospective students can obtain technology-related qualifications in a highly interdisciplinary Master's program: Additive Manufacturing, Smart Factory, and E-Mobility Production.
Why choose NPE?
▶ Three different tracks:
- Smart Factory: Designing the factory systems of the future
- Electric Mobility Production: Creating the most modern means of transport
- Additive Manufacturing: Producing the latest technologies and materials
All tracks contain some of the most relevant and essential topics for the industry in Germany, Europe, and around the globe.
▶ Extended Mobility Window:
- Opportunity for a compulsory internship or
- Opportunity to immerse yourself in the subject matter
- If chosen, the internship is compulsory
Start building your professional network early to increase your chances of finding a job soon after graduation.
▶ The modules are continuously updated and focus on the most recent developments
▶ All professors and lecturers are keenly involved in different companies and the industry activities
▶ Mandatory German Courses prepare oneself for a future career in Germany
▶ Four semesters:
- more time to amplify knowledge
- more opportunities for building connections and meeting professionals
Study Track: Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing processes are among the major topics of production technology that will significantly influence product development and production. There is a high level of industrial, intersectional and international significance attached to additive manufacturing processes in production technology, which is closely linked to a strong demand for qualified personnel in the area.

The Module Handbook states the contents of each track's subjects in more detail.
Study Track: Smart Factory
Building "Smart Factories" means networking all plants, products and processes in a self-organizing factory. This is a central component of "Industry 4.0" and will be used in numerous sectors such as chemistry, automotive and electrical engineering. Within these networked production processes, qualified graduates play an essential role: They act as problem solvers, experience bearers and decision-makers.

Study Track: Electric Mobility Production
The electrification of propulsion systems has developed into a global trend, which extends from container ships and aircrafts to the automotive industry. The challenges and opportunities of e-mobility are very diverse: With mechanical engineering as one of the key players in technological change, suppliers and manufacturers will need skilled engineers with interdisciplinary expertise in the interface of e-mobility.
