International qualifications and experience, language skills and intercultural skills are becoming increasingly important for production specialists and managers in addition to technical expertise. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the HTW Dresden offers in the diploma degrees the following possibilities. The study fields can optionally be linked with the international orientation "International Mechanical Engineering Studies" (IMES) to enhance foreign experience.
