Industrial Engineering Life Sciences (Bachelor)

• You enjoy scientific and technical topics.
• You are interested in a study programme with a high degree of diversity and practice orientation.
• You want to lay the foundation for a management position in a stable market.
• In addition to technical know-how, you would also like to train professionally relevant, social and methodological skills.
   

We support you
To help you get started with your university studies, we recommend our preliminary courses in mathematics and chemistry, which are offered a few weeks before you start your studies. We offer specialist support in the form of tutorials for many modules in the first two semesters. Our student mentors are your contact persons for all questions relating to your university studies.

The Bachelor's programme in Industrial Engineering Life Sciences has a modular structure and starts in the winter semester. The standard duration of studies is 7 semesters (210 ECTS credits). As a rule, 6 modules are completed per semester.
 

In the interdisciplinary university studies "Industrial Engineering Life Sciences" you will acquire knowledge in Industrial Biotechnology or Food Technology in addition to Business Sciences knowledge, depending on the specialisation. In food technology training, product and process optimisation and food innovation are a specialisation. In Industrial Biotechnology, you can expect modules such as Cell Biology & Cell Culture Technology or Molecular Biology & Genetic Engineering. In business training, the focus is on quality, innovation and marketing management.

In the first academic year, you will initially learn the necessary scientific, engineering and business basics. The modules from the third semester onwards serve as specific preparation for your professional career. Please note that you must complete a basic internship of 8 weeks by the beginning of the 4th semester. In addition, specialisation compulsory modules are offered in the areas of technology, engineering and management. You will find the corresponding module plans in the download area.
 

During university studies, students are trained in professional, social and methodological skills through group and project work as well as presentation techniques. Theoretically acquired knowledge can be directly used and specialised in various lab practicals. An extensive range of compulsory electives enables you to set individual specialisations in your university studies.
 

In the 7th semester, you will complete your practical placements and write your Bachelor's thesis. The internship in industry at the end of your university studies prepares you ideally for your career entry.
 

The integration of a semester abroad or work placement abroad is possible, especially in the second half of your studies, and is supported and guaranteed in its quality by scholarship programmes and cooperation agreements.
