The technical and economic focus of this degree program gives you skills in brainstorming, product development and design as well as marketing. Coupled with social skills such as crisis management, networked thinking and working in a team, you are able to successfully accompany a product from the idea through development and production to marketing and disposal.
In each step you combine knowledge from business and technology. You become a wanderer between the worlds. Many companies today regard this ability as a great strength and demand it from their employees. Likewise, the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with a wide variety of subject areas in order to meet the requirements of a heterogeneous and constantly changing work environment.

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.
