Top universities in Germany for Mechanical engineers – Part 1

logo

Skill-Lync

“I am planning to do my Masters in Germany, what are the best universities for that?”

If you are asking this question, I’d say that it is very apt of you to ask about the “best universities” in a plural sense. This is because Germany has one of the best concentrations of universities around the world, especially when it comes to engineering. Naturally, it is also the utopia of many budding mechanical engineers. It is quite understandable when students find it hard to zero down on a particular university and that is why we have decided to put down 10 of the best universities and add their highlights to assist you in your plans.

 

Technical University Munich

The main reason Germany is so favored by mechanical engineers is because of its huge market for mechanical engineers. Germany is the home to several mechanical and automobile manufacturers and Munich is one city that houses several manufacturing companies. Hence, graduates from the Technical University of Munich have a good chance of finding employment immediately after finishing their education.

Here are some fact and figures about TUM:

  • In 2017, TUM academics published 7422 articles and papers.
  • Scientists at TUM made 172 inventions in 2017
  • Since 1927, professors and alumni from TUM had won 17 Nobel prizes.
  • The ERC grants funds for 100 research projects at TUM.
  • 71 patents were submitted by TUM researches in 2017.
  • 70 start-ups and 15000+ jobs from companies that have grown from TUM.
