### Specialize with Optional Master’s Tracks

You can choose to specialize in one of the optional master’s tracks within the Mechanical Engineering program. Each track defines a key focus area and is linked to a specific research section, where you’ll be assigned a professor-mentor based on your preferences.

You complete a track by selecting courses from the ME core and specialization lists. The overall 120 ECTS structure remains the same as the regular ME master’s. If you prefer, you can graduate without choosing a track.

- 20 ECTS core courses
- 20 ECTS specialization courses
- 15 ECTS free electives
- 5 ECTS skills courses
- 15 ECTS internship
- 45 ECTS graduation project

Below you’ll find the available master’s tracks in Mechanical Engineering. Choose your focus, submit your preferences, and get ready to start with your dedicated mentor guiding your research section.
