Content and Structure of Degree Courses
 

Profile of Degree Courses

With its traditional bias towards technology and engineering, Leibniz Universität Hannover is famous for its engineering faculties. The education of future industrial engineers benefits from this. The Faculty of Economics and Management, the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are jointly offering courses for this new degree, which was set up in 2006.

Course Length

• Prescribed length of study: 7 semesters

Course Content

The combination of business and engineering means that an extremely broad range of topics is covered during the courses. The bachelor’s degree provides a broad and scientifically thorough training, combined with practical assignments. The engineering part, comprising about 60%, is shared between mechanical and electrical engineering. Students start by taking mandatory courses in both types of engineering in order to gain a full insight into both subjects before specialising in either mechanical or electrical engineering.

The option modules are: automation technology, electrical energy technology, energy and process engineering, information technology, mechatronics, and production technology. Economics (about 40% of the degree) is shared between micro- and macroeconomics. A thorough grounding is provided in both subjects. With 10 weeks of work experience, the degree has a high proportion of practical training.

Examination Regulations

Degree courses are subject to certain rules and regulations.
This is essentially a question of regulating the contents e.g. compulsory/ optional subjects, as well as providing information on examination procedures.
