The B. Eng. Automotive Engineering degree programme, there is a competence-oriented recognition of knowledge and skills acquired both professionally and outside of higher education, as well as prior academic achievements. This ensures that students do not have to study content in which they have already acquired equivalent competences.

The following competences can be recognised:

- Advanced training
- Professional skills
- Achievements from degree programmes at other colleges and universities

The recognition of previously acquired competences can shorten the duration of studies by up to four to seven semesters. Make a non-binding enquiry to contact the IAW team at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and find out more about credit transfer.

After graduating, graduates can quickly familiarise themselves with the diverse areas of vehicle technology - e.g. development, testing, quality assurance, technical monitoring - and take on qualified specialist and management tasks in business and administration.

This degree programme is aimed in particular at prospective students with professional experience in mechanical engineering/vehicle construction or related fields AND ideally a further training qualification as a state-certified technician*/master craftsman* (HWK, IHK)/technical business administrator/vehicle expert
