100 Best universities for Mechanical Engineering in Germany

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Germany ranked based on their research performance in Mechanical Engineering. A graph of 6.82M citations received by 327K academic papers made by 154 universities in Germany was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
