Course Content

Your course overview in the distance learning programme Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen

In the bachelor's programme Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, you’ll integrate technology, business, and innovation. The curriculum aligns with the qualification framework of the VWI and systematically covers mathematics, natural sciences, technology (STEM),

business administration, and interdisciplinary skills. You’ll gain solid knowledge in mathematics, physics, design, and electrical engineering. Through hands-on projects—such as “Mess-, Steuer- und Regelungstechnik” or “Konstruktion mit CAD”—you’ll put your learning into action. Elective modules allow you to tailor your focus, from “Smart Factory” and embedded systems to robotics, sustainability management, automotive, or production. 


Elective areas: In elective areas A, B, and C, you select two elective modules each. Elective area D: decide upfront between an internship or modules from this elective area. The internship concludes with a practical reflection. If you opt for modules, you must complete all modules in this area. Mixing an internship and elective area D is not permitted.

Career boost: your internship in the distance learning programme (optional)

Looking for flexible studies with a hands-on focus? No problem: at IU International University of Applied Sciences, you can deepen your knowledge in an integrated internship (30 ECTS points) related to your field. Alternatively, you can expand your expertise through practical modules (30 ECTS points). Decide in your first semester which approach suits you and your goals. If you already have work experience or gain some during your studies, this could be recognised under certain conditions, saving you time and money. 

Practice-oriented experience as an alternative to the internship

Practice project: Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen 

At the start, you’ll find a company to collaborate with during your project. In coordination with the company, you’ll select a specific task, such as in sustainability, smart home, or autonomous driving. You’ll apply concepts, methods, and tools learned during your studies to address your task and document your findings in a written report. 

Project: Hackathon 

In this module, you’ll use key methods to find practical solutions for relevant problems and present your findings to an audience. Choose a topic from areas like electromobility, robotics, data analytics, process automation, or digital business models. You’ll develop your solution using tools such as hardware (e.g. prototyping boards like Arduino) or software (e.g. technology-specific development platforms like Matlab). At the end, you’ll present your results in a project showcase.

Fernstudium B.A. Soziale Arbeit

Ich bin mit meinem Fernstudium Soziale Arbeit an der IU sehr zufrieden. Besonders gut gefällt mir die hohe Flexibilität, da sich das Studium gut an den eigenen Alltag und berufliche sowie private Verpflichtungen anpassen lässt. Die Studieninhalte sind interessant und praxisnah aufgebaut und die verschiedenen Lernmöglichkeiten helfen dabei, sich die Inhalte individuell zu erarbeiten. Insgesamt bietet mir das Studium genau die Flexibilität, die ich mir von einem Fernstudium gewünscht habe.

Super spannendes Studium

Es fällt wahnsinnig leicht, an Inhalte zu kommen und diese zu lernen. Alles ist so verständlich aufbereitet, es gibt immer ein Skript, dessen Inhalte zuverlässig zu Prüfungen kommen. Zudem kann man Podcasts/Videos und zusätzliches Material ansehen sowie in Austausch mit anderen treten. Gibt es ein Problem, erreicht man immer sofort jemanden im Sekretariat oder via Chat. Es macht großen Spaß und fällt mir sehr leicht, auf diese Weise zu studieren.

Bin ein großer Fan der IU

Ich bin ein großer Fan der IU und habe dort in letzter Zeit unglaublich viel gelernt. Die Möglichkeiten, die Studierenden geboten werden – insbesondere im Fernstudium – sind sehr vielfältig und flexibel. Dadurch macht das Lernen nicht nur Spaß, sondern lässt sich auch hervorragend in den Alltag integrieren. [...] Für mich gehört die IU zu den besten Anbietern für Fernstudiengänge in Deutschland. Ich kann sie aus voller Überzeugung jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
