At the Mechanical Engineering programme, you learn to develop and design products, machines and technical systems that actually work.

At VIA, you will get a technically strong education founded in actual application. Here, you will build solid understanding of materials, mechanics and construction behaviour.

You will work with the entire development process - from idea and digital modelling to proto type, test and final solution.

Through exercises in our tech labs, digital simulations and automation tasks, you will learn to optimise function, sustainability and production.

You will also gain skills in project management, cross professional collaboration and technical problem solution, which will enable you to translate theory into concrete, usable solutions.
