Full-time 3-semester and part-time 5-semester Master’s degree programmes. Part-time studies offer greater scope for activities in an enterprise, in research or with the family. With compulsory elective modules and project work, the degree programme is geared to individual technical and economic interests. An applied university project, practice projects in companies as well as research projects in the university can be carried out. The department offers excellently equipped laboratories and modern, well-equipped facilities in a fully renovated historical artillery barracks.

At the Minden Campus, there are regular informational events for students about "Work placements and studies abroad" by the Foreign Students Office. The International Office in Bielefeld is open to all students for guidance on short visits, work placements and foreign programmes.

The Minden Campus department is involved in application-oriented research and development. The aim is to generate research results that support the innovation activities of the partners and that can be transferred to application in the short term. Through close contact to industry partners, the scientists gain current knowledge from corporate practice.

The Center for Entrepreneurship (CFE) actively supports all those interested in starting a business across all phases of the process. Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences promotes the active transfer of knowledge and thus professional self-employment as an essential career option for students and academic staff. This is how practical applications are found for innovative ideas, research results and inventions.

Regional companies support the Master’s degree programme by funding a foundation professorship. Our courses are designed for small groups, thereby guaranteeing an excellent teacher-student ratio. Our students value the small size of the green campus, the personal atmosphere and the individual guidance offered by professors, instructors and staff.
