The Study Programme
Full-time course: 1 October | Part-time course: 1 October
3 years or 6 semesters - 1,800 hours | 6 weeks holiday are scheduled for each year of study.
4 years or 8 semesters - 1,800 hours
General engineering knowledge and skills are imparted in the core subjects of the foundation course and application-based curriculum, which are compulsory modules to be completed by all course students.
In the
foundation course component, students primarily acquire basic engineering knowledge and are supported in the acquisition of social and communications skills and the development and mastery of scientific working methods. The foundation course is complemented with multidisciplinary modules (jurisprudence, competence basics, student consulting analysis and practical phases).
The aim of strengthening the profiles of students through their early orientation towards area-related career fields that suit their aptitudes, is bolstered by the sector-focused
Special study component. Here the students learn the fundamental knowledge of a specific area. They become able to specifically direct their career perspectives to this area.
During the
practical phase, students' engineering knowledge and skills will be enhanced, consolidated and treated within an overall context.
Students are thereby able to analyses complex, operational problems and to identify a solution. The acquisition and application of management-focussed knowledge is also taught. The expertise acquired in the previous study segments and partly tested in practice will be expanded and strengthened.
The full-time course has two integrated
practical phases, which can be completed in Germany or abroad. The final element of the course is the composition of a bachelor thesis with a practical focus. Successful course graduates receive the academic title "Bachelor of Engineering".
All teaching content will be conveyed in accordance with the latest teaching methods and through networked systems. Furthermore, the defining elements of the course of studies include lectures, case studies and expert debates, alongside subject-based internships, excursions and guest lectures. In addition to face-to-face tuition, the specialist knowledge acquired will be reflected upon and applied through self-tuition, organised group work and in accompanied learning (e-learning). In this context, the various personal and professional backgrounds of students will be viewed as an important enrichment. Students can and should contribute their own questions and case studies to the teaching/learning mix. This didactic method is conducive to establishing a direct link between theoretical knowledge and the real working environment.
