Examination Boards

Each degree program has its own examination board.

On this page you will find information on the examination boards for the Mechanical Engineering Bachelor and Master, and Mechanical Engineering (International) Bachelor degree programs.

Students of Materials Science and Engineering (MatWerk) should contact the MatWerk examination board, students of Mechatronics and Information Technology (MIT) should contact the MIT study program service.

Examination boards are elected by the Department Council for the respective degree program. The examination board in the composition listed below was appointed for the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering (International).
