Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering

These are the requirements for the Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering Business Administration

With your Bachelor's in Business Engineering Mechanical Engineering, you could work as a process manager or asset manager.

In the part-time distance learning program Business Engineering Mechanical Engineering at IU International University of Applied Sciences, you can be admitted if you have either a high school diploma (general higher education entrance qualification), a technical high school diploma, or a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification.

This interdisciplinary approach enables graduates to take on an interface role between technology and management in mechanical engineering industry companies and to create innovative solutions in the age of Industry 4.0.

Furthermore, you can also study Business Engineering Mechanical Engineering without a high school diploma. To be admitted to the IU distance learning program without a high school diploma, you must have completed an advanced training qualification, such as a state-certified business economist, or have a master craftsman's certificate. You can also be admitted if you have completed a vocational training and have worked full-time for at least 3 years following this training.

How flexible is the standard study time in the distance learning program Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering?

At IU International University of Applied Sciences, you can choose one of 3 study models for the part-time distance learning program:

• In full-time studies, the standard study time is 6 semesters or 36 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Full-time studies in Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering are particularly suitable for those who are not working or only working a few hours a week.
• In part-time studies I, the standard study time is 8 semesters or 48 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time studies I are suitable, for example, if you work part-time alongside your studies.
• In part-time studies II, the standard study time is 12 semesters or 72 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time studies II are particularly suitable if you are heavily involved in your profession alongside your distance learning.

By the way, you can also take a semester off during your studies at no additional cost.

How does the online study program at IU work?

A study program that adapts to your life: In the online study program at IU, you can learn flexibly and digitally whenever and wherever you want to learn.

In the distance learning program Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering at IU International University of Applied Sciences, there is no attendance requirement - you learn continuously from home, in the library of your choice, or wherever you can learn best.

You can take your modules and courses whenever you want. This way, you can usually put together your study plan and semester schedule flexibly by yourself.

Central to the IU distance learning program are your interactive learning scripts. You will receive the scripts both in printed form and digitally as PDFs and for tablets. Through the smart app IU Learn, you have access to the scripts for your studies in Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering as well as scripts from all other distance learning programs at IU.

Through myCampus, the online campus of IU, you also have access to additional materials, such as videos. You can exchange ideas with your lecturers and fellow students, for example, in virtual live formats, such as interactive courses.

And exams? You can take them as online exams if you prefer. You can take an online exam 24/7 once you feel sufficiently prepared for the material. Alternatively, you can take the exam at one of the numerous exam centers of IU throughout Germany.
