Engineering and Management

Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.)

How do you combine engineering expertise and management skills for a global career?

The English-taught Bachelor’s degree programme in Engineering and Management combines engineering with business management expertise. You will gain in-depth knowledge in areas such as mechanics, computer science, electronics and software development, as well as in accounting, marketing and management control. Complemented by key soft skills, the programme will equip you to take on a wide range of roles at the interface between technology and management in international companies.

Engineering and Management

If you want to develop technological innovations while understanding how businesses operate in a global environment, the Bachelor’s programme in Engineering and Management is the ideal choice. You will gain a broad engineering education covering subjects such as engineering mechanics, materials science, electrical engineering, computer science, software development, and mathematics. At the same time, you will build a solid foundation in business disciplines including accounting, marketing, and controlling, enabling you to evaluate technical projects from both an engineering and a commercial perspective.

Project-based learning helps you strengthen essential professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and presentation, preparing you for international working environments. Modules in Intercultural Studies, International Management, and a second foreign language enhance your global mindset and intercultural competence. An international semester abroad and an industry placement in the fifth semester provide valuable practical experience and direct exposure to global business environments. As the entire programme is taught in English, graduates are exceptionally well prepared for careers with internationally operating companies at the intersection of technology, innovation, and management.

Career Opportunities


The degree programme opens up a wide range of career prospects at the interface between technology and management. Graduates take on roles, for example, in international product management, industrial engineering or the management of international projects. Other areas of work include strategic procurement, international sales of technical products, management consultancy, and globally oriented roles such as IT, planning or procurement. Furthermore, the programme prepares students for demanding assistant and coordination roles in management, as well as for future leadership responsibilities in internationally active companies.

Interesting Facts

  1. Dual study programme

    A combined model (degree programme & vocational training) OR a degree programme with in-depth practical experience (degree programme and intensive practical placements) are available. For the dual study programme, you must apply both to the company and to the university (please note: be sure to check the company’s application deadlines!). 

    More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.

  2. Full-time international students at THI

    From the moment you’re admitted to your degree programme right through to the end of your studies, we’ll be there to support you with a wide range of services and resources, from language courses and induction events to information on finding accommodation and questions about life in Germany. 

  3. Funding for Studies

    At THI, students have access to a wide range of support options in the form of scholarships. We recommend that students living on their own budget for at least 700–900 EUR per month for personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, food, books, tuition fees). 

  4. Important notice on application agencies

    THI does not work with agencies. Please apply directly to THI via the uni-assist application portal for international applicants. THI never asks for money via agencies for application purposes and only sends emails from @thi.de. THI will never ask for money before you receive your letter of admission. If you require a VPD from uni-assist, you must pay a processing fee to uni-assist. However, uni-assist only checks certain documents and does not grant admission to THI. 

  5. Language skills

    • English: The program is taught entirely in English language (exception: courses of semesters 1 and 2 may also be attended in German). Sufficient language skills are essential to successfully complete the coursework. Note that we do not require English proficiency tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.
    • German: There is no requirement to formally prove German language skills for your admission. You may start with little or no German language proficiency. However, German is the official national language in Germany. The transition from your home country to the German university system and every day life will be made easier the more German you know. Furthermore, German skills will greatly increase your chances in finding a student job and or an internship at a German company.

Application period for the winter semester is May 2nd to July 15th.

Please consider that the online application is only possible in this space of time. Applications that reach the university later than that cannot be taken into consideration.
