International Management and Engineering, B.Eng.
Are you interested in key economic issues and technical developments? Could you see yourself on the interface between business and technology in companies operating on the global market?
The International Business Administration and Engineering course offers the opportunity to study an interdisciplinary combination of business-related and technical subjects. In addition to gaining in-depth knowledge of these subjects, students acquire a wide range of linguistic, methodical, leadership and intercultural skills. These central topic areas ensure that students who will go on to work in an increasingly globalized industry receive the practical, clearly focused training they will need. This course is the ideal foundation for their future career path.
The bachelor’s degree program is available as a full-time course or as a combined course during which the students also train as an industrial management assistant.

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 course combines economic and technical issues. Its peculiarity lies in its strong international orientation. Several modules are offered exclusively in English, a second foreign language is mandatory. The course imparts a balanced mix of language, methods, leadership and intercultural skills. During the orientation phase, you will learn the basics of general business administration and industrial management. Controlling, electrical engineering, mathematics, mechanics and materials physics are other key teaching topics. You will then expand your knowledge of economics, electrical power engineering, automation technology, IT, production and logistics, cost and performance accounting, as well as personnel management and organization. After the practical semester in an industrial company, the two specialization modules economy and technology are available in the last academic year. A number of credits can also be acquired abroad. This applies in particular to the practical study semester and the advanced modules in the sixth and seventh semesters.

The special feature of the Industrial Engineering course is its strong international focus. International industrial relationships require fluent communication with foreign business associates, in addition to good intercultural skills. The course therefore includes in-depth language training to help you meet these requirements. Studying two foreign languages plus a semester spent abroad are compulsory elements of the course. As well as this, several modules are held in English only. The curriculum allows you to acquire several credit points abroad, especially during your internship semester and for the modules to be completed in your 6th and 7th semesters. In particular, the specialization modules are flexible enough to allow the recognition of course credits acquired abroad.

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.
