Industrial Engineering, M.Sc.
Highly qualified graduates of Industrial Engineering are an important factor for companies in global competition. Experts at the interface between technology and business issues are urgently needed to cope with the foreseeable economic and social challenges. The overall objective of the "Master of Science in Industrial Engineering" program is the qualification for independent, scientifically based project work in the fields of industrial engineering and related disciplines.

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.
Programme selection →What you study
The implementation of a practical research project for a period of three semesters is the main constituent of the program. Here, the future master is qualified for independent science-based project work, improves interdisciplinary key qualifications through practical experience and acquires in-depth problem-solving skills. The student works within a team in a research network of leading companies and universities and receives individual support from the project leading Professor and in seminars. This programme meets the demands of the labor market for highly skilled and project experienced engineers in an ideal way. Additional lectures at the University of Applied Sciences Aschaffenburg and the Virtual University of Bavaria (VHB) deepen scientific, technological, information technology, logistics, business administration and economics and interdisciplinary competences. There is a variety of choices for the optimal individual combination of subjects, depending on education, research project and desired qualifications.

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.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.12uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, 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.
