Thomas Bücker, Master Mechatronics

I can highly recommend the Mechatronics Master‘s degree programme at the FH Aachen. My favourite work field is sensor and actuator technology and the classes and facilities at the Faculty of Mechatronics have been a great place to improve my knowledge and experience.

During the courses I had a lot of options to employ theoretical knowledge in practice. The laboratories in this university are well equipped and it has been never a problem to stay in the laboratories outside the class hours to use the equipment. The number of students in a batch is limited, so the studying atmosphere is very convenient. Professors have been always helpful when there were  questions.

I made many friends from other countries and besides the technical aspect of studying I have gained a lot of intercultural experience.

Nowadays I am a test engineer at TRW in Düsseldorf. I am responsible for the validation of automotive steering systems and my daily work is the development and implementation of diverse tests on various conditions to approve functionality and durability of the mechatronic system. The study has been a perfect preparation to the working world and I thank my fellow students and the professors for the great years of study.
