(Bachelor of Engineering)

Early in their working lives, engineers have to manage finances and managers have to deal with technologies. This degree programme at the bbw University of Applied Sciences combines these two areas. Due to the combined teaching of business and technical expertise, graduates are able to grasp both technical and overarching operational contexts and are able to take on responsible activities and potential leadership positions in the company.

The key qualifications that are important in the business environment, such as communication and media skills, are also expanded by designing the teaching accordingly. The additional range of languages offered also enables students to acquire language skills for their later work, while important communication techniques for professional work are also taught. The study programme also includes an internship phase in order to apply what has been learned and to deepen further knowledge already during the study programme.

Companies are looking for potential managers who bring a broad, interdisciplinary know-how to solve the many complex tasks in the economic and technical field. With a degree in Business Management and Engineering, you have multiple and very good prospects for your professional future.

Course of Study

In the course of the seven-semester Bachelor's degree, knowledge of classic business administration is imparted, as well as basic knowledge of engineering, with the aim of integrating business and technology. This means that you are able to do the work of a classic engineer, such as construction, materials science in manufacturing, as well as topics related to human resource management, cost-benefit analysis, marketing and sales. In addition to the specialist skills, social and methodological skills are also trained during the course. The course is international and the lectures are held in English. The course not only qualifies you for tasks in a national environment, but also for international activities.

Practice-oriented Study

All teaching content is taught according to the latest teaching methods and in networked application. Since our professors and lecturers come from the business world, they can integrate their experience and their network into their teaching in a particularly practical way. In addition, lectures, case studies and specialist debates parallel to specialist internships, excursions and guest lectures are formative elements of the course. In addition to classroom instruction, the acquired specialist knowledge is reflected and applied in self-study, in group work and in accompanying learning (eLearning). The different life and professional backgrounds of the students are seen as an important enrichment.
