BSc Industrial Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU)

Industrial engineers combine technical knowledge with economic understanding. They are generalists and bridge builders between engineers and economists. As experts in electrical engineering, exciting career opportunities open up in the field of information technology and electrical power engineering.

Faculty: Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law, Faculty of Engineering  |  Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Erlangen, Bayern, Germany

What you will study

The Bachelor’s degree program in industrial engineering at FAU consists of almost equal parts of a basic education in engineering and an education in business administration/management. Industrial engineers are thus bridge builders between the worlds of engineers and economists, natural and social scientists. In the field of engineering, students can choose between the two fields of study „Mechanical Engineering“ (MB) and „Electrical Engineering“ (ET).

Career pathways

Industrial engineers can be found in almost all areas of the economy. They often replace business economists or engineers in fields of activity in which relatively specialized business or technical knowledge is required.
