Programme Structure & Content
Focus Production
The degree programme BSc Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen - Sustainable Production and Business is a production oriented specialised area within the training of industrial/business engineers. Course content is therefore focused on internal product creation and production processes as well as on order processing, organisation and production technology.
From raw material to the customer
Our graduates coordinate flows of goods, finance and information from the raw material to the customer by organising, controlling and above all permanently optimising and developing the entire production and distribution chain, including securing resources, financial planning, market analysis and developing a sales strategy.
For this reason, the course of study focuses on the design of the entire product development and implementation process, taking into account sustainability aspects from the creation of a product idea to the development of the production environment to the marketing of the product or even an independent spin-off.
We offer practical, holistic and accompanied project work from brainstorming right through to the implementation phase.
Practical relevance, team work and real internationality
The right balance between theory and practice is guaranteed by the combination of lectures, projects, business games and the close contacts ESB Business School and its teaching staff have to industry. Moreover, an internship is an integral part of the course.
In small student teams you will develop and implement your product idea while receiving continuous guidance and theoretical input from our lecturers.
Lectures in English and a firmly integrated semester abroad at one of our many worldwide partner universities ensures the international focus of your degree programme.
Sustainability at the forefront
The entire process of product and business development is examined under the central theme of sustainability and, if necessary, adjusted accordingly:
- Are resources used sparingly?
- Are environmentally and climate-friendly technologies used?
- Is energy used as efficiently as possible?
- Are social and health aspects taken into account in production as well as in the company?
