Programme Objectives:

Business engineers work at the crossroads of technology and business. They provide sound knowledge in engineering and competencies in business management. Furthermore, they are capable to look on internal processes in general and develop technical solutions according to common purposes.   

The degree program “Engineering and Business” provides academic knowledge in the fields of Engineering and Business Administration. Students enhance sound knowledge in design and construction, computer science, electronic and electrical engineering, material technology, process and climate engineering, cost and investment management, marketing, law, taxes and HR management. Engineering theory will be applied in the modern, well equipped laboratories of our university. Social skills will be trained in small teams. Foreign language courses and other elective subjects prepare students for professional activities on the global market.

Programme Overview:

The regular period of study consists of seven semesters. The program requires good knowledge of Mathematics and Physics. It is divided into two modules. The introductory module covers two theoretical semesters. The second module includes four theoretical semesters and a practical semester. At the beginning of the sixth semester students will have to choose one field of study from the following list: Production and Logistics; Product Management; Automotive Engineering. 

Practical courses in laboratories of material technology, physics, data processing, production technology or working with engine test rigs are important components of the program. The applied approach is supported by project studies that enable students to work under guidance of professors and together with companies on current operational problems. Students learn in this way to apply their theoretical knowledge to a complex professional environment while meeting at the same time possible future employers.
