Mechanical Engineering – Management

About this programme

The Bachelor's Programme “Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen - Maschinenbau” (hereafter: Mechanical Engineering - Management) is based on the engineering foundation of classical mechanical engineering. It provides solid knowledge in mathematics, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, design engineering, and manufacturing technology—supported by practical laboratories, exercises, group work, and small projects. The program is complemented by business-related subjects such as business administration and (project) management, creating a broader skill set. This combination of engineering and business specifically prepares students for a subsequent master’s program or a versatile career at the interface between engineering and management. There is no selection procedure for the Bachelor's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering - Management. Instead, before being admitted, you must engage with the contents of the programme as part of the so-called Study Preparation and Reflection Phase (Programme-PRe-Phase). An interest in technical and scientific processes, economic and business-related contexts, and mechanical engineering are ideal prerequisites for the programme. The profession represents a modern, interdisciplinary qualification at the interface between engineering and business. It meets the strong demand from industry for engineers who are trained in economics and prepared for leadership roles. Career prospects are excellent, with many of our graduates holding top positions in business. The broad foundational education remains relevant for many years, e
