More than just earning money: A position as a student assistant at the WZL is the first rung on the career ladder for many students - and it's enjoyable at the same time!

Students of mechanical engineering can opt to specialise in production engineering following successful completion of the intermediate examination (Vordiplom).

Anyone with a Bachelor's degree or equivalent that has been obtained outside of Germany may study at the WZL to attain the title "Master of Science in Production Engineering".
