Industrial engineering and management in mechanical engineering with practical experience

Build a bridge between technology and business - here you can live out your talent in engineering and business!

Theory and practice hand in hand: combine the best of both worlds. A unique combination of technical training and business know-how - side by side with one of our practice partners. With us, you have the choice: we offer you an apprenticeship or practice-integrated degree program. And the best thing is that your cooperation partner will usually cover your semester fees and also pay you a monthly allowance.

With an apprenticeship-integrated degree course, you will complete an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic, mechatronics technician, technical product designer or you will become a cutting machine operator in your company in addition to your studies. You may attend vocational school and take a final IHK examination. In the practice-integrated variant, you also work on projects and student work in the company, do not take an IHK final examination, but receive an internal training plan.

Here you will learn how to optimize technical processes while keeping an eye on economic aspects.

We will prepare you! After graduation, your broad range of skills and competencies will give you excellent career prospects. You will be able to solve technical and business problems, manage projects and lead teams.
This degree program is perfect for people who want to shape their future sustainably and responsibly in a dynamic and innovative environment. Here you will be perfectly prepared for the demands of the rapidly developing world of technology and business.

Here you will receive an excellent quality of education and a high level of practical relevance in a personal, respectful atmosphere. Open the door to a world full of exciting opportunities!

Still undecided - maybe because you have deficits in math? Problems are there to be solved: With our MatheLift program, you can still get started. You can find more information below under "Useful links".

We live mechanical engineering! Join us, we'll get you there...
