Applied Mechatronic Systems (B.Eng.)

About the course

An English-taught engineering degree combining mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, with modules in programming, microcontrollers, sensor networks, automotive systems, robotics, AI and smart manufacturing, and a strong focus on lab work and projects. It runs over seven semesters (210 ECTS) and includes the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certificate Programme (levels 1-2).

Entry requirements for Irish students

• SRH asks for a general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur) or university of applied sciences entrance qualification, or a foreign school-leaving certificate that gives university access. It publishes nothing specific on the Irish Leaving Certificate, so the German rules apply: the Leaving Cert gives direct entry only with six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths (O5/H6 or better). For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with SRH admissions how they assess your results.
• If your Leaving Cert does not meet the entry rules, SRH mentions a Foundation Year at SRH International College and a conditional enrolment route. After your documents are checked, the admissions process includes a personal admission interview before you sign the study contract.
• Proof of English is required, for example IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 87, Cambridge B2 First grade A or B, CAE/CPE grade A-C, Duolingo 110, PTE Academic 59 or TOEIC 785 (certificates no older than two years). SRH does not say whether Leaving Cert English is accepted instead; if you have no certificate you can take SRH’s own English Proficiency Certificate. Ask admissions before booking a paid test.
