Our bachelor’s degree programs

  • Applied Computer Science and Social Media

    The bachelor's degree course "Applied Computer Science and Social Media" is a program focussing on applied computer sciences supplemented by the basics of social media. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp or YouTube have radically changed today's reality of life and our way of working. Whether in the private domain or for professional applications, for instance in organizations, administrations and businesses, the possible ways of communication, that is the interaction between sender and receiver, the sharing of or commenting on news and images puts high requirements on the developer and operator of such media. The "Applied Computer Science and Social Media" study program takes up these challenges.

  • Industrial Engineering with Business Studies

    In companies, many details are critical for creating added value. An important prerequisite for this is interdisciplinary know-how equally considering business issues and technical processes. Strategic vision and detailed knowledge of operational processes are both imperative. That is why experts with an awareness of the big picture and with an understanding of engineering issues and modern business management are in demand.

  • Intelligent Systems Design

    Communicating online all day long and everywhere, operating devices without touching them, closing the shutters at home via an app while away from home, checking the content of the fridge online, securing a parking space with a power charging station for the electric car outside the 3D cinema thanks to valet parking and when you enter the pleasantly air-conditioned loft in the evening, soft light welcomes you and the food ordered online during the day was already delivered in an ice box. Besides imagination and vision, the time factor plays an important role for the further development of new intelligent systems and their integration into the environment: in other words, speed to get products and applications ready for the market. In this process, algorithms are the basis, while programming, simulation processes, modelling, prototyping, and design are the tools.

  • Intercultural Business Psychology

    We live in a world of internationalization and globalization in all our spheres of life. Consequently, the ability to understand people from other cultures and successfully communicate is of constantly growing significance. In working life, too, knowledge of the psychological principles of intercultural communication and collaboration is increasingly important. The knowledge of these processes and so-called intercultural competencies are consistently imparted in the Bachelor degree course Intercultural Business Psychology. It is about the human being, his behaviour as well as decision-making processes in economic contexts.

  • Materials Science and Bionics

    Nature offers a veritable treasure trove of optimally functioning systems. Uncovering these assets, which means taking nature as a model, understanding its functionalities and incorporating them in new technical materials and products, this is the core of the still rather young discipline of bionics. Chemistry, physics and biology thereby provide the natural science foundations. Combined with engineering courses, such as technical mathematics, mechanics as well as construction technology and electrical engineering, and in combination with the key disciplines of materials science, optics and lighting technology as well as design, a unique study course arises. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, it offers a very broad spectrum in the development of new materials for products and technologies of tomorrow’s industries.

  • Mechatronics

    A modern, interdisciplinary engineering science. The fundamentals are mechanical engineering, electrical and control engineering as well as computer sciences. The knowledge acquired in these disciplines is complementary and enables mechatronics engineers to develop various systems for high-tech products as we find them everywhere today: cell phones, automobiles, aircrafts and trains, energy and production facilities, logistics systems, light-emitting diodes – LEDs and OLEDs, imaging technologies and laser-based applications through to the mega trend, electric mobility. Based on the intelligent connection of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer sciences, "Mechatronics" generates new prospects today for the world of tomorrow.

  • Technical Management and Marketing

    In a globalized economy, companies are subject to constant change. Anticipating the factors that will positively influence competitiveness and growth thereby presents particular strategic challenges to, among others, the innovation management in technology companies. The requirements profile is broad: exploring market opportunities and recognizing business risks at an early stage, demand-oriented design of product innovations, respecting trade mark rights and protecting patents. Furthermore, future-oriented developments and the intelligent application of efficient and resource-sparing technologies gain an ever-increasing importance in times of demographic change.

  • Visual Computing and Design

    Everyone ist familiar with the many small displays and digital media on devices and appliances used to adjust settings or the interactive touch screens for navigating systems and simulated views of products, buildings or objects. All of them are based on the visualization of information and functions and backed by complex systems consisting of technical components and elaborate software. However, even the best technology does not automatically lead to a good, intuitive operability or a convincing look; this additionally requires a target group-specific and user-oriented design. This, in turn, implies an understanding of what expectations people have on objects and products or how people behave when they operate a machine, a smartphone, a car or a ticket machine.

  • Product Development and Business Studies

    Wearables, such as fitness trackers, are a prime example of smart accessories from the sports and leisure sector that take advantage of synergies between various disciplines: human science knowledge, technical innovations and possibilities in the fields of sensor technology and microcontroller systems. If innovative materials and modern production techniques are used in addition, a cost-efficient, attractive high-tech product is the result. The success of the top seller is rounded off by effective marketing strategies, such as the "10,000 steps initiative" internet campaign, and user-friendly apps which address fundamental psychological needs such as health and competitive thinking. In the meantime, these products, which were originally developed for the sports and leisure market, have found their way into the health care system, where they are used by health insurance companies for the voluntary monitoring of insured persons, or even in the medical field for health monitoring of, for example, cardiac patients, where huge amounts of data are generated.

    The "Product Development and Business Studies" master's program focuses on the demanding development of smart products in the sports, health and medical sector.
