Your course overview in the distance learning programme Engineering Management
In the bachelor's programme Engineering Management, 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.
Your professional future as an expert in Engineering Management
As an expert in Engineering Management, you’ll actively shape the digital and sustainable industry, taking on key cross-sector roles. After graduation, you could work as…
