Interdepartmental Master's Degree Program
Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering
Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences; Department of Management, Information and Production Engineering
The Double Master’s Degree program allows students to obtain two Master’s Degree Certificates: one from the University of Bergamo (Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering) and another from the University of Stuttgart (Mechatronics). The double degree is a symmetric agreement and students will only need to pay fees and tuition at their home university.
The Double Master’s Degree program between the University of Bergamo and the University of Stuttgart, is entirely taught in English and consists of:
The program includes a 0.5-year Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS) as an integral part of the two-year path. The thesis in English is supervised by professors from both universities and presented at the host university according to local regulations.
As in the original Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering program, the Double Degree study plan offers a multidisciplinary laboratory activity to be carried out during the second year at the University of Stuttgart (“Research Project”, 18 ECTS).
Application Process
Applications to the Double Degree program must be submitted during the first year of the Master's Degree in Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering, according to the deadlines of an internal call, which is published each year between January and early March. The application is open to students enrolled in either the Mechatronics curriculum or the Smart Technology Engineering curriculum.
Prospective Double Degree students must demonstrate sufficient command of the English language. Therefore, during their first year of the Master’s Degree and before the application deadline, applicants must pass the University of Bergamo B2 computerized English test. Information regarding test dates and the registration process is available at the following link: https://www.unibg.it/internazionale/andare-allestero/partire/accertament...
No certificate proving knowledge of the German language is required.
Selection and Mobility
Applicants are typically selected for the Double Degree Program in March. Selected candidates will proceed to the University of Stuttgart at the beginning of the second year of their Master's Degree, if and ONLY if they have acquired at least 45 ECTS during their first-year.
Financial support for students in mobility is provided through Erasmus+ funds and associated contributions.
