Industrial Engineering, B.Eng.
The English-taught study programme Industrial Engineering addresses students of all nationalities offering an ideal opportunity to get to know “technology made in Germany.” Interdisciplinary and business-related courses complement the technical aspects of the programme. Therefore, graduates are particularly suitable for interdisciplinary activities in a company, as they are able to evaluate, organise and optimise processes economically and technically.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Based on their broad education, graduates will be able to assess company processes not only technically, but also economically, and thereby start and control optimisation processes. Career options after graduation are manifold. Industrial engineers work in purchasing, production planning, product management, quality and project management or technical sales. Later on, they often also fill positions in marketing, finance and controlling.

- ×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.
