Business and Engineering 
Bachelor of Engineering

This bachelor’s programme is one of our Twin Programmes, i.e. the Business and Engineering programme taught in English (IBE) is basically identical to the programme mainly taught in German (BWW). During the course of studies, students may switch between programmes and languages and so acquire a Twin Certificate at the end. 

Due to the teaching’s orientation towards economic and technical matters, the programme offers above-average career opportunities and security of employment. Lecturers who often gathered their experience in top management positions of companies teach up-to-date and future-oriented knowledge. To prepare students for their careers as good and practically as possible, many classes apply their learning content to issues in small, medium sized and big companies by cooperating with these companies. Students learn to meet managerial challenges with up-to-date skills in the economic-technical field as well as with professional, methodological, and social competence.

You can find more information about the programme at the website of the Faculty of Business and Engineering.

Career Perspectives

Due to the programme’s mixture of technical and non-technical elements, graduates can choose from a broad variety of occupational fields to start their career: marketing/distribution, logistics, materials management/purchasing, production, controlling, accounting, administration/organisation, or data processing. Possible fields of activity are, for example, in producing and trading companies, engineering offices, banks, insurance companies, consulting firms, but also in the public sector or when establishing one’s own company. 

Programme Structure

During the first three semesters, teaching concentrates on the basics of substantial sub-disciplines of business engineering: Natural sciences, engineering, economics, and general skills. From the fourth semester specialisation modules from the technical or economic field can be chosen. 

BWW: for a technical specialisation, students can choose mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or mechatronics; for a business specialisation, students can choose purchasing, logistics, production, distribution, or controlling. 

IBE: A technical specialisation is possible in mechatronics; for a business specialisation, students can choose purchasing, logistics, or production. There is an internship module (sixth semester) that introduces students to the actual work of business engineers. Studies are completed by a bachelor’s thesis that discusses a (often practical) problem on a scientific basis.
