Engineering Science
B.Sc.
Overview
The degree program in Engineering Science is geared toward students seeking a broad foundational education and training in the sciences and associated methodologies, without having to commit to traditional engineering subjects. The course specifically addresses those who are interested in pursuing a professional career on the interfaces between the classic disciplines. Examples are mechatronics, process engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, mechanics of materials, and software engineering. However, students can also pursue a classic degree in the engineering departments at the Technical University of Munich, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
The central concern that drives the degree program is to convey the broad methodological foundations of the discipline, as required to work in engineering, without bringing a specific applied field to the fore. In addition, students receive a sound vocational education and training in mathematics and the natural sciences that is clearly more advanced than that offered by conventional degree programs in engineering. Here, equal emphasis is placed on theoretical and methodological orientation, as well as on the integration of content that is relevant to practical application in industry. During the course of their studies, students are given the opportunity to specialize in engineering sciences or in new interdisciplinary fields.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate you possess a broad, method-oriented vocational education and training in general engineering science, the natural sciences, mathematics, and informatics. In addition, you will have created your own profile within the broad field of engineering science in accordance with your choice of specialties.
Based on your individual focus on a specific area of specialization during the degree program, you have the opportunity to successfully complete an associated master's program at the Technical University of Munich.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Should you decide to enter into professional employment upon successfully completing the bachelor's program, numerous opportunities arise in many different areas. In addition to mechatronics and process engineering, these also include biomedical engineering, materials science, mechanics of materials, and software engineering.
Structure
The degree program is designed to be completed within six semesters.
- The first four semesters convey thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering science and the natural sciences, as well as mathematics and informatics. These are complemented by interdisciplinary qualifications.
- In the fifth and sixth semesters, students have the opportunity to begin to specialize in content, including that related to a possible master’s program.
- The degree program concludes with the bachelor’s thesis in the sixth semester.

Admissions
Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure evaluating your ability to successfully manage the particular qualitative requirements of the bachelor’s program.
In the first stage, your overall secondary school grades, your grades in subject-specific courses, and any relevant practical experience or additional qualifications will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
Students who earned their higher education entrance qualification in a non-German language school in another country and whose native language is not German must take part in an admissions interview to assess their subject-specific language skills.
