Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

The focus in the Bachelor's degree programme is on the fundamentals of engineering. Students acquire in-depth knowledge of technology and mathematics and implement this in practice-based projects. Our teaching is strongly oriented towards real problems from industry. High-quality laboratories offer state-of-the-art technology and permit creative, agile work. Alternatives allow for individual specialisation options. This offers students optimal preparation for subsequent professional roles.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

The Master’s degree programme focuses on the business part of engineering practice. Students analyse and simulate practical operational decision-making processes, develop strategies and train leadership and management skills in a targeted manner. Electives allow for individual specialisations. Projects with companies and state-of-the-art labs link theory, economics and practice. Students take responsibility in project teams and practice decision-making under real conditions to give them the best possible preparation for leading positions in technology & management

Special features regarding the international orientation

We cultivate worldwide cooperation and support students individually in the planning and organisation of studies or work placements abroad through our International Office at Münster University of Applied Sciences. Three integrated Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) in Finland, Belgium, Poland, Portugal and Spain as well as various COIL projects, e.g. on AI assistance systems for mathematical modelling tasks with a US university, offer international practical experience. In addition, summer schools in English, language tandems, workshops and intercultural activities promote global competence.

Special features regarding the equipment

Our students work in laboratories with current, professional equipment, e.g. metal 3D printers, simulation surgeries, high-quality spectroscopes and microscopes, as well as systems for mobile robotics and production technology. A prototype workshop offers space for creative projects and experiments. Free WiFi and PC pools are always available. Numerous subject-specific databases such as WISO, Statista, Perinorm, Nexis, OECD iLibrary, Web of Science and AccessEngineering support academic work, e-learning, research into economic data and standards.

Special features regarding research activities

Research and development projects are funded directly by industry or by public third-party funding bodies. Students actively participate in this. In project seminars, they take on research tasks in small groups that they carry out directly with and at companies. This way, they immediately apply what they have learnt and establish contacts with industry. The current research focus areas are the Internet of Things ("Digital Twin"), Augmented Reality ("Tourist Guide") as well as cross-border projects in the field of innovation together with the Netherlands.

Other special features

The Münster University of Applied Sciences actively promotes diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion in degree courses and teaching and creates an inclusive learning environment. Sustainability is an integral component, e.g. in the sustainable planning, construction and operation of buildings. Students learn to take ecological, economic and social aspects into account. Social responsibility is strengthened through projects and international collaborations, raising students' awareness of global, social and environmental challenges.
