About Mechatronics Engineering S7 - Adaptive Automation Systems
Adaptive Automation Systems to optimize processes in the industry. For that you have to deal with disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology.
In this programme you will work in a project team at a mechatronics problem. Beside the project you will have some modules, where you dive in a more typical engineering topic in the field of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology.
Why this programme?
Focus on the shift from production in dedicated production lines with a fixed layout and processing order for a product or product family, towards intelligent, more or less autonomous, processing stations that can be combined in an ad-hoc way depending on the desired product. In short: adaptive and flexible automation.

How to apply as an exchange student
Applications should always be submitted via the International Exchange (or Erasmus) Officer at the home university. If several versions of the programme are offered, please indicate for which version you would like to apply to (Programme I, Programme II, Programme III, etc.) This officer will send your application request (nomination) to Fontys. Once Fontys has accepted the application, your Fontys study department will send you a link to a web application called Mobility Online.
Deadline for application
Fall semester: 15 May
Spring semester: 15 November
Note: Not all exchange programmes are available every semester. To find out when this programme is offered, please check its specific details.
How will your course programme be recognised by your home university?
Fontys will provide you with a so-called ‘Transcript of Records’, which will clarify the results that you have achieved. Depending on your results, you will receive a maximum of 30 ECTS credits. ECTS credits are recognised throughout Europe. The agreement between your home university and Fontys University of Applied Sciences will usually include a condition whereby the credits that you obtain will be recognised and transferred into the records kept by your home university.
