About the Program
The Bachelor's program in Industrial Engineering and Management combines engineering and business studies. Due to economic developments and globalization, there has been a shift from purely technical specialization to thinking in broader contexts of the technical-economic complex. This program meets these requirements by connecting content from both fields. The program is jointly offered by two Hamburg universities: University of Hamburg (UHH) is responsible for business education, while Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) provides the natural science and engineering content. The program includes a nine-week technical internship for practical experience. This combination of application-oriented engineering education with research-oriented business education is considered unique in Germany. Graduates can either continue their academic career (Master's, PhD) or enter professional fields at the interface between technology and business in companies, e.g., in manufacturing and production, controlling, marketing, and sales.
