StREaM -

The English-language, international Bachelor’s study programme StREaM has its roots in industrial engineering. It has a particular focus on sustainability. As a graduate, on the one hand you will have acquired knowledge of the fundamentals of industrial engineering and business administration, whilst on the other hand you will have become familiar with the principles of sustainable development and their importance for the economy and industry as well as the environment and society. 

As a student you will acquire the skills and knowledge that enable you to:

• identify and analyse problems where engineering and business management overlap and jointly develop solutions to them with others in a team,
• plan, execute and evaluate projects in terms of sustainability and in the process incorporate specialist perspectives from economics and industry, ecology and society as well as taking into account cultural contexts,
• successfully communicate, collaborate and cooperate - in an interdisciplinary, intercultural and virtual manner,
• as well as reflect upon your personal skills development and continuously evolve as an individual.

Sustainability is the theme that cuts across all programme content.

To be admitted to the programme you must hold a higher education entrance qualification in the form of:

• a general or subject-specific secondary school diploma (Abitur)
• a higher education entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or a comparable qualification
• vocational qualification recognised as a higher education entrance qualification

Are you unable to provide evidence of one of the higher education entrance qualifications listed here, but have completed a vocational training qualification and at least 3 years of professional experience? 
Then you have the option of demonstrating your aptitude via the entrance examination or trial studies in order to complete a study programme with us. You can find further information here.

The language of tuition is English. For this reason, evidence of knowledge of the English language to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (GER) is required. Usually, in the case of applications with German qualifications, this evidence is provided by the higher education entrance qualification certificate.

As a StREaM graduate, there are potential careers in industrial and service companies as well as the public sector in the initiation and implementation of sustainable production and product design processes. The main focus is on the responsible use of resources and energies. This interdisciplinary programme will enable you to take on industrial engineering roles at the point where technology and commerce overlap, e.g. in sales and marketing, product development or quality and environmental management. Another potential area of employment is in corporate consulting.
