One degree program - two qualifications!
Industrial engineers are the link between business administration and engineering. They optimize technical processes as well as productivity and profitability.
They
- are interested in technology and management
- want to be someone who thinks in systems and solves problems
- want to study successfully and get a TOP job
- want to design your studies as individually as possible and
- want to develop personally and enjoy your studies at the same time
We
- introduce you to technology and business administration
- let you practise on practical issues
- accompany you personally throughout your studies and
- involve you in research and consulting
Career & prospects
Industrial engineers are sought for tasks in project management, quality management, controlling, technical purchasing or (technical) sales, both nationally and internationally. With increasing professional experience, management and budget responsibility are often added. Industrial engineers "made in Weingarten" have excellent employment opportunities in industry, not only in the interdisciplinary field.
What are we doing differently?
What makes our degree program different from other industrial engineering degree programs?
We have completely rethought our degree program!
- Maximum freedom of choice for students
You are free to choose more than one semester at RWU and/or (inter)nationally. - Integration of a semester abroad
You can easily go abroad during your main studies without having to extend your study time. - English-language subjects
You can enhance your professional qualifications by taking English-language subjects, e.g. at our International Academy. - Modern but timeless degree program
On a modern degree course, you will study subjects that are in high demand and will continue to shape our world for many decades to come.

Who gets a place?
All applicants who meet the admission requirements will receive an offer of admission.
Semester fee
Every semester, all students are required to pay a semester fee upon enrolment or re-registration. This fee is charged at a similar level by all universities in Germany.
Composition and amount of the fee
FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND FOR A SECOND DEGREE COURSE
Since the winter semester 2017/2018, Baden-Württemberg has had a tuition fee for international students (non-EU citizens) and a second degree course fee. This means that in some cases a tuition fee must be paid in addition to the semester fee.
Before enrolling, applicants from non-EU countries or applicants for a second degree course will receive a form to assess whether they are actually required to pay tuition fees.
The amounts and detailed information can be found at Finances.

Kai Amrein (B.eng.)
"I decided to study Industrial Engineering (Technology Management) because I already found the combination of technology (mechanical engineering) and management (business administration) very interesting and future-oriented. Today's global working world demands fast, flexible and sustainable solutions. The practice-oriented and international degree course prepares you for this in the best possible way. I found the proximity to the students and professors particularly positive, from which my personal network still benefits today. I particularly liked the international and project-based focus at TM. In addition to a study trip to Bratislava in Slovakia, I completed my internship semester at ZF Suzhou in China. For my bachelor's thesis, I lived in India for three months to conduct a market analysis. I still benefit from this experience and the broad spectrum in my day-to-day work as a Global Key Account Manager."
Julian Dobczinski, B.Eng.
""Before my studies, I did an apprenticeship in wholesale and foreign trade. Interesting, but that wasn't quite enough for me. I missed the technical connection to my work, as I have always been interested in technology. During my studies, I got exactly what I was looking for: physics with the physicists, electrical engineering with the electrical engineers, mechanical engineering with the MB students, but also marketing with the business administration students. Although I struggled with the amount of material at the beginning, after a few semesters it went quite well and I knew how things worked. I particularly liked the interdisciplinary nature of the course. One highlight was my stay abroad in Bangkok at Thammasat University. The city was as dense as the jungle, with spicy food and heat. But despite the excursions in and around Thailand, I also learned a lot there that is still a great help to me today: how to deal with unknown and new challenges. The course gives you a good insight into the different specializations of an engineer for your future career choice. As the industrial engineering degree program is very interdisciplinary, you have a wide choice of directions you can take afterwards. I did my Master's in SCM at HTWK Leipzig and was therefore able to build on my Bachelor's very well. I recently joined Helbling Technik in Zurich as a development engineer. Here I work in a plant and production planning team that works on international projects. In my day-to-day work, I probably benefit most from the overall package that you get on the course, a toolbox filled with different tools and methodological skills."
