Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Industrial Engineering (WI) is the all-rounder among the degree programmes. With us, it is a practice-oriented degree programme combining technical expertise with knowledge of business administration. This means being an expert in two fields and speaking two languages. In engineering, the aim is to deliver good quality and develop cool technical things. The aim in business administration is to achieve this aim efficiently and cost-effectively and to learn how to make money in the process. WI combines the best of both worlds in a single degree programme.
