After your degree programme
Graduation ceremonies
When graduation is complete, students can look back with pride on their challenging studies. They have either achieved their first academic degree (Bachelor) or successfully completed their Master's degree. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics honors its graduates with a graduation ceremony, which takes place annually in November in the Coronation Hall of Aachen City Hall. There they solemnly receive their graduation certificates in a small social program.
Would you like to do a doctorate?
Universities of applied sciences do not yet have an independent right to award doctorates, but at the FH Aachen you can earn a doctorate after completing your master's degree. You will be supervised jointly by a professor at an university and at the FH Aachen. This is called a cooperative doctorate. After successfully completing your doctorate, the university will award you a doctoral degree. With the doctorate, the completion of the doctoral degree, the ability is proven to be able to work independently and in depth scientifically.
All further information about the doctorate can be found on the following page:

Meeting former fellow students
Contact us if you would like to organise a reunion of former graduates of the faculty and would like to visit your faculty again in the process. Please contact our central alumni management first, and they will forward your request to the right contact. Here you will also find insights into previous meetings:
Welding engineers' meeting
For around 30 years, the subject area "Joining and Separation Technology, Laser Technology" at the FH Aachen has been responsible for training of students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics in welding technology. In 2014, FH Aachen started to invite former students and welding engineers (SFI) to an annual meeting in order to exchange technical knowledge in a competent circle and to maintain contacts. Here are a few reviews of former SFI meetings (only in German language).
FH Aachen's Central Alumni Management
As alumni of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, would you like to visit the faculty again or meet up with former students there? Then contact the central Alumni Management of the FH Aachen, which will then put you in touch with the right contact in the faculty.
