Automotive Industrial Engineering, B.Eng.
We are rethinking mobility. Would you like to provide technical and economic support for a vehicle or mobility service from the initial idea to delivery to the customer? The Industrial Engineering branch of the Automotive Technology course will provide you with the necessary knowledge and methods from the fields of business, engineering and vehicle technology. You will become a true all-rounder and will deal with product development, management, marketing, logistics and production management at vehicle manufacturers and suppliers or mobility service providers, among other things. For sustainable mobility, you will also be involved in the development and implementation of new, intelligent business models in the area of mobility, e.g. sharing services. You will work on mobility concepts of the future and will be at the interface between technology and business.

Pick programmesCareer
Well-trained engineers are in demand worldwide. The automotive industry is a key sector with a high level of innovation. With your degree, you will be a true all-rounder at a vehicle manufacturer, supplier or mobility service provider thanks to your technical and business skills. You can work across the entire value chain, i.e. from product development to production and logistics to sales and after-sales. You are a specialist at the interface where technical knowledge and commercial skills need to be coordinated, and can therefore quickly take on tasks in project management, management or business consulting.

Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 14.03uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
