This is what a former student says:
- Interdisciplinarity and diversity of projects in which theses can be written
- Practical studies through laboratory practicals and test series (especially in the basic studies, then in the master's degree also with industrial practice)
- Solid, broad specialist knowledge with technical-mechanical reference (something to "touch")
- Strong industrial relevance due to close proximity to large companies, Fraunhofer institutes, industrial lectures, etc.
- Very good support in teaching due to the large number of scientific staff who assist with learning
- Equal opportunities, support and promotion programs (MentorING, etc.)

Located in the innovation and technology hub of Stuttgart and thanks to cooperations with industry, business as well as research, we offer an excellent interdisciplinary and practical education.
- With its key sectors of automotive, mechanical engineering, medical technology, electrical engineering and IT, Stuttgart is the industrial region with the highest turnover in Germany and one of the most powerful business locations in Europe. In addition to large global corporations such as Daimler, Bosch, Porsche, IBM or Hewlett Packard, the Stuttgart region is also home to numerous so-called "hidden champions" such as Stihl or Festo and a large number of small and medium-sized companies.
- Stuttgart is one of the strongest research locations in Germany and the center for research and development in Baden-Württemberg. 45 percent of the state's research and development capacities are concentrated here. In order to communicate scientific topics to a broad audience, the city of Stuttgart organizes the so-called Science Festival every two years. This demonstrates the close connection between science, business and urban society.
- Stuttgart is one of Germany's cultural capitals and has a lot to offer in terms of sights and events - be it in the areas of culture, art and theater, sports or architecture. Festivals such as the Cannstatter Wasen or international sporting events not only attract visitors from many countries, but as a cosmopolitan city of integration, Stuttgart is also home to people from 172 nations.
