Industrial Engineering, B.Eng.
So that our world runs smoothly, the need for intelligent solutions is great everywhere. Whether complex logistical systems or the challenge of raw material and energy management - all these are the tasks of industrial engineers.
The course closes the gap between economics and technology and trains managers who consider structures and processes as a whole and who align various operational forces with common goals. Industrial engineers are able to develop technical concepts, evaluate them economically and implement them for the company as well as realistically assess the effects of decisions on operations, employees and the environment.

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.

Graduates will find professional areas of activity in small, medium-sized and large companies in industry, trade and transport, in consulting and insurance companies, in public authorities and utility companies. The industrial engineer is an employee and superior in the line, a consultant on the staff, but also in business functions. His competence in consulting, planning, design and control of technical and economic systems of a company leads him, for example, to fields of activity in marketing, sales, procurement, work preparation, production, materials management, logistics, quality control, safety and the environment. Industrial engineers are some of the most sought-after graduates on the job market.

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 directly to the university until 15.01Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.

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.
