Graduates of this program are qualified to work in the following areas: the automotive industry and its suppliers; the mechanical engineering industry; the process engineering industry; and engineering consultancy.

Student Testimonial:
"Some companies have collaborations with universities and some have their own education centers... they make the students ready for the job and they accept these students rather than students who are “from outside”. In this point appears the importance of the internship.

I want to thank Hochschule Esslingen for supporting internships and provide facilities the students to shape their future in a good direction."
