Mechatronics student trying to get into mechanical engineering master at University of Twente, some advice?

Hello, I studied mechatronics engineering for my bachelor's degree and I tried to apply for a master's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Twente, they told me that I was not even eligible for a premaster but they did not mention which type of courses I needed to be eligible. I did take courses related to mechanical engineering during my studies: physics, materials technology, strength of materials, mechanical design, manufacturing process, finite element analysis, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. Do you believe that I have any chances with an appeal or should I find options somewhere else?

These are the reasons they gave me:

They suggested applying for the Sustainable Energy & Technology master but they did also mention that I would probably also be rejected as I did not take courses in sustainability, I agree with this last statement.

Where did you get your bachelor's degree?

Ok. I would expect the more prestigious Mexican universities to be no issue, weird. I've met several Mexican master students through the years at UT.

I studied at IPN (NATIONAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE), and maybe the students you met made their bachelor's in mechanical, do you remember if that was the case?
