A special milestone deserves a special setting: On Friday, October 30, 2026, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at Aachen University of Applied Sciences bid farewell to its graduates with a festive commencement ceremony in the Coronation Hall of Aachen City Hall. The event began at 3:30 p.m. and provided an opportunity to celebrate the graduates’ academic achievements together with family, friends, faculty, and guests. All graduates who had successfully completed their bachelor’s or master’s degree in the department between mid-September 2025 and August 31, 2026, were honored.
In addition to welcoming remarks by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kristian Arntz, Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, the program included a message from the Rector’s Office by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Christof Schelthoff, Vice Rector for Strategic Planning and IT at FH Aachen. Fabian Eichler, M.Sc. (IWE), Managing Director of LaVa-X GmbH, delivered a guest address and a celebratory speech. Jonas Hanf, a graduate of the Bachelor’s program in Mechanical Engineering, also shared his experiences and reflected on his studies at Aachen University of Applied Sciences.
A highlight of the event was the personal recognition of the graduates. This was followed by a group photo and a closing reception with refreshments and an opportunity for networking. Upon request, individual and group photos could also be taken on-site by the photographer.
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics was delighted to celebrate the graduates’ successful completion of their studies together with them. We wish them every success and all the best in their future professional and personal endeavors.
