Industrial Engineering and Management (B.Sc.)

The increasing complexity of the corporate world requires decision makers and managers to possess the ability to look at an entire operation and not just a single unit. It is often not sufficient to only possess an understanding of either the technical or the business processes within an organization. The Industrial Engineering and Management degree program addresses these demands by offering an integrated education in technical, economic, mathematic, scientific, and legal disciplines. You not only learn how something works in economics and technology but also why it works a certain way. This allows you to acquire skills in designing, planning, and operating socio-technical systems.

The economics and social science components of the degree program are nearly identical to other economics study programs offered at universities. In the engineering component, students learn methods and ways of thinking and working in this discipline, though in a slightly lesser scope than in a purely engineering degree program. You can specialize in one of the following: civil engineering, chemistry and process engineering, electrical engineering, energy and resources, information and communication systems, mechanical engineering, or transportation engineering.

At TU Berlin you receive an education that is both exceptionally broad while also detailed at an advanced level. This education is based on TU Berlins excellent offerings in engineering, information technology, and economics. All of our faculties contribute to the degree program, resulting in highly interdisciplinary training.

A crucial element of the concept for this degree program is that the curriculum content for the economics, social science, and engineering disciplines is primarily taken from the offerings for students in those respective degree programs, thus requiring Industrial Engineering and Management students to satisfy the same requirements and demands. This allows graduates of this degree program to hold their own with both engineers and economists.

The Industrial Engineering and Management bachelors program offers a well-founded basic education in engineering and economics as well as in the methodology of current research. Graduates are able to understand complex tasks in both a technical and economic context and to solve them using an interdisciplinary and holistic approach.

Like every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply for the Industrial Engineering and Management program. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications.

The Industrial Engineering and Management bachelors program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level.

As some courses/modules are offered in English, a knowledge of English is useful. However, it is not a condition for admission.

As this study program is significantly composed of content from the natural sciences, math, engineering, and management, you should have a basic knowledge of and interest in these areas. If you have taken these subjects as part of your Abitur, you will have an easier transition to this degree program, but they are not a formal requirement for admission.
