What you'll study

Core study modules are delivered semester‑by‑semester to build a shared foundation in mathematics, natural sciences, engineering labs and business topics. Early semesters cover Mathematics 1 and 2, natural sciences, engineering laboratory practice, Grundlagen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Rechnungswesen und Controlling, Betriebswirtschaftliche Informationssysteme, Recht, Supply Chain Management, Personalmanagement, Marketing and Produktionsmanagement.

• Semester 1 highlights: Mathematik 1, Naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagen, Grundlagen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Grundlagen der Nachhaltigkeit.
• Semester 2–4 highlights: Ingenieurwissenschaftliches Labor, Rechnungswesen und Controlling 1 & 2, Betriebliche Informationssysteme, Recht, Supply Chain Management, Marketing, Produktionsmanagement, Projekt‑ und Prozessmanagement and Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten.
• Semester 5–6: Wahlpflichtmodule (six in total across semesters 5 and 6) let you deepen a chosen specialisation; examples of elective topics include Unternehmensplanspiel, Qualitätsmanagement, Digitale Transformation, Lean Management, Advanced Project Management, Life Cycle Assessment and XLab‑Lernfabrik.
• Semester 7: Berufspraktische Phase (industry placement), Bachelorarbeit and Kolloquium.

The three formal specialisations provide structured technical electives:

• Electrotechnics (Elektrotechnik): modules such as Elektrotechnik 1–3, Informatik 1–2, Digitaltechnik, Rechnerarchitektur, Mess‑/Steuer‑/Regeltechnik and Energiewirtschaft, plus a project in Elektrotechnik.
• Mechanical Engineering (Maschinenbau): modules such as Technische Mechanik 1–2, Werkstoffkunde, Fertigungsverfahren, Konstruktionslehre and CAD, Maschinenelemente, Konstruktionssystematik, Technische Thermodynamik, Handhabungs‑ und Montagetechnik and a project.
• Sustainable Life Cycle Management (SLCM): modules such as nachhaltiges Ressourcenmanagement, Umweltkostenrechnung/Materialflussrechnung, Life Cycle Assessment, XLab‑Lernfabrik and an SLCM fallstudie.

Entry requirements

The programme is listed as zulassungsfrei (no restricted admission) and is taught in German. The full module catalogue and further administrative details are provided in the programme's module handbook.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles at the interface of technology and management across industry, medium‑sized enterprises and consulting. Typical responsibilities include assessing electrotechnical or mechanical systems, planning automation and production processes, designing and economically evaluating products and optimising supply chains and manufacturing operations.

Scholarships & funding angle

The course page does not specify scholarships. Prospective students should investigate public funding (BAföG if eligible), institutional scholarships at the Hochschule and external scholarships from industry or foundations, and consider employer‑supported placements during the practical phase as common ways to finance study.
