International Industrial Engineering – Operations

Our completely redesigned ESB bachelor’s programme Internationales Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen - Operations (International Business and Engineering - Operations) sets out to educate industrial engineers of tomorrow. Students will learn to design, control and plan the flow of materials, information and financial resources in global value-added networks- both among global players and in the medium-sized manufacturing industry. Unique highlights of the degree programme are the practice-oriented approach in company-related projects and in the ESB simulation factory "Werk 150", the interdisciplinary teamwork in small, project-based groups and the intensive mentoring by the professors; all of which is supplemented by digital and interactive learning and teaching methods. The programme includes a study abroad semester and an internship semester, which can also be completed abroad.
