"The Mechanical Engineering degree program at TH OWL is a practice-oriented degree program with many interesting topics. During the course of your degree program, you have the opportunity to choose various elective modules based on your own interests. The lecturers are always approachable and helpful, even outside of office hours. In addition to your degree program, you have the opportunity to apply your theoretical knowledge in practice-oriented projects, such as the racing team."
