Study details

How can production become more digital and smarter? What marketing strategy can I use to acquire new customers? How can I keep an eye on my costs while investing in automated and networked manufacturing processes and expanding? And how can I make my company more environmentally friendly? Studying industrial engineering opens up a wide range of opportunities for you. With comprehensive knowledge in various areas, you are perfectly equipped as an all-rounder to pursue a career in challenging technical or managerial positions.
During your studies, you will learn both the most important technical and business management skills and how you can implement them in the company using various methods.

For this reason, the degree programme places great emphasis on management skills - not only in theory, but also through practical application in projects.

Studying at Campus Bochum

Modern, internationally orientated and surrounded by greenery - that's Bochum University of Applied Sciences. We have over 8,200 students studying at two different locations: the main campus in Bochum and the satellite campus in Heiligenhaus (CVH).
With our six faculties and more than 58 degree programmes, we attach great importance to encounters at eye level, supportive cooperation, personal support and strong practical relevance. There are numerous student working and research groups in which students from different degree programmes come together to learn. Topics such as Sustainable Bochum University, learning and working in projects (problem-based learning), Electric Mobility or climate change can be tackled here independently and closely supervised by lecturers. You can also obtain a doctoral degree here after completing a Master's degree.
The campus in Bochum is about 15 minutes by car or tram from the city centre, right next to the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). All leisure activities for students there are also open to you: from university sports and the cultural café to the halls of residence. Bochum as a student city offers everything a student's heart desires: from art museum, theatre and concert hall to planetarium and mining museum to the party mile Bermudadreieck, city park and Kemnader See - take a look at Maps to see how green it is here!

What our students say

"I particularly like the good organisation and the design of varied subjects from technology and business that build on each other.The module content is the ideal complement to the experience gained on the job and forms an ideal basis for further academic steps."

Lane Schöttes, alumna

"I think the degree programme is very good, as I previously studied full-time and quickly realised that I would rather study alongside my training.
I didn't have the work experience before. Also, overcrowded lecture theatres didn't exactly help me to study successfully. On the Economics and Engineering programme, you sit together with groups of no more than 25 people and professors or lecturers who bring practical experience from industry with them."

Jannik Bischkopf, student
