Programme selection →About the programme
Since engineering managers work closely together with scientists, engineers, computer specialists, economists, lawyers and other experts, they are familiar with their working methods and their way of thinking. Unlike most specialists who are focused on a special area, engineering managers are able to understand a company as a whole. Solving cross-disciplinary problems is their main task which makes them apt for management positions in technological-oriented companies.

Sales Engineers are business engineers who are specifically trained in certain disciplines of business studies (e.g. marketing). In their future careers, they represent their companies and are the problem solvers to customers. They work as mediators and project managers in a multi-social environment. In international-oriented companies, they are required to have not only a high level of social skills, but also intercultural competence.
What you study
In close cooperation with the faculty of Business Studies and the faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, the FH Aachen has developed the bachelor degree program “Engineering Management”. The cross-disciplinary program has a well-balanced combination of engineering and business studies.

The program qualifies you first and foremost to develop, build and operate rail vehicles. Careers range from constructing new energy-saving and low-maintenance vehicles to the wide field of commissioning and after-sales services for customers. It is also worth remembering that it is possible to apply your knowledge in the field of rail operations, for example, as a rail operations manager at a transport company.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
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 via uni-assist until 15.07uni-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.
