U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Der Bachelorstudiengang Mechatronik gilt trotz mathematisch-theoretischer Tiefe als besonders praxisnah. Dies wird durch den großen Anteil an Laborlehrveranstaltungen aber auch durch Lektoren aus Wirtschaft und Industrie sichergestellt. Hierbei wird neben den ingenieurswissenschaftlichen Inhalten auch Augenmerk auf nichttechnische Fächer wie BWL, Recht, Fremdsprachen, Projektmanagement usw. gelegt. Um diese Aspekte über die Landesgrenzen zu erweitern, gibt es die Möglichkeit, ein Semester an einer der zahlreichen Partneruniversitäten weltweit zu studieren.

The Department has five cutting-edge network-technology laboratories that can be used around the clock and outside of the campus. This creates an excellent learning environment in which the latest technologies can be ideally taught. Additionally a Cyber Defense Center and a GPU Cluster are available to students. The study programme uses modern didactic concepts like teaching blocks. Project-based and exploratory learning provide the opportunity to experience data science and security first hand. As both domains are multidisciplinary, they are applied in all different areas.

The study programmes deal with the ’railway system’ in its entirety. Advanced knowledge in the fields of structural engineering, railway operations, system technology, rolling stock and management of railway systems is acquired. In the bachelor programme networked knowledge and real talent are trained by regular excursions and professional practical training. In the master programme, students focus on the topics of one out of five elective paths. It draws upon knowledge acquired in the bachelor programme, but students with a bachelor degree in a related technical fields may also enrol.
