Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering
With the development of innovative technologies, engineers make an enormous contribution to mastering future challenges on an ecological, economic and social level. By means of technical know-how, creativity and teamwork, they design resource-saving concepts for the sustainable protection of nature.
These concepts are ultimately applied in all areas of life – whether mobility, medical technology or the treatment of drinking water. By studying at the Faculty of Engineering, you become part of the team!
The Faculty of Engineering unites four Departments, which cooperate closely in teaching and research:
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
- Mechanical Engineering/ Process and Environmental Engineering
- Maritime Studies, Systems Engineering and Logistics
All Departments are located on the Wismar campus except for the Department of Maritime Studies, Systems Engineering and Logistics, which is located with its own campus in the seaside resort of Warnemünde, the northern district of the Hanseatic city of Rostock.

Research
Research is an important part of our faculty. It focuses on socially relevant, future-oriented issues, which we address in interdisciplinary and application-oriented projects. The development of networks and cooperation with research partners from science and industry is just as important as the promotion of young researchers.

- Students will not be admitted to the course of study if the overall mark is 3.0 or lower. In individual cases, a decision will be taken in this matter by the Board of Examiners, although this shall remain an exceptions
Organize yourself
One of the most important key competences you can acquire as a student is self-organization. Term schedule, timetables, dates and deadlines for re-registration, examinations, leaves of absence, changing courses ...
You do not need to keep in mind all these dates, but check the latest information on our website from time to time. If you rather talk to to one of our friendly advisors, the SERVICE POINT might be your first choice.
