One degree - two professions! Our graduates are both Engineers and Business Economists in one. They combine technical and commercial skills and are therefore ideally prepared for management tasks in technically demanding projects. You can specialise from the 6th semester onwards - you can choose from three specialisation areas. Compulsory elective areas in the 6th and 7th semester further round off the personal profile. The degree course has very good business contacts for excursions, internships etc. Lecturers from the business world deal with current practical topics.

Different sub modules can be offered in English if required.

Integrative project laboratory: Groups of students simulate start-ups as part of the course "Integrative Project Laboratory". According to a given task, they build and program a prototype of a robot and create a business plan for their start-up and their product. At the final presentation, they try to convince investors to invest in their start-up on a simulated exhibition stand.

The course is offered in three study models: As a classic full-time course, as a "cooperative study model" and as "study with in-depth practice". The cooperative study model combines shortened vocational training (skilled worker training) and full-time study, the entire time is paid. Three apprenticeships are possible: Industrial Clerk (m / f / d), Electronics Technician (m / f / d) or Mechatronic Technician (m / f / d). When studying with more in-depth practice, students gain practical experience in a company during their full-time study, during the semester break.
