Overview
New digital technologies are giving companies more and more opportunities to capture, integrate, and analyze information. To seize opportunities such as the introduction of intelligent products, they need specialists for planning and implementing inter-connected holistic IT systems. Information engineering considers the entire chain from the sensor to the IT system to the business model and is thus a significant building block in the digital transformation.
The Bachelor's program in Information Engineering at TUM Campus Heilbronn conveys the knowledge and skills necessary to design IT systems along the entire life cycle of the resource information. It offers you the opportunity to acquire solid theoretical, practical, and technical skills in a constantly evolving field and prepares you for your role as an information engineer.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate, you will possess the necessary competencies and skills to participate in the design and implementation of cyber-physical business systems across disciplines.
You will be able to fundamentally understand the interaction of new technologies and their dissemination with the socio-technical systems in which they are embedded, as well as to recognize and pick up on future developments in order to participate in the development of holistic, future-proof solutions.
You can competently consider physical and economic constraints when working on the development of end-to-end IT solutions. You have the technical and methodological knowledge in computer science, electrical engineering, and economics essential to support the role of the information engineer. You have a command of the methods of the disciplines under consideration in order to be able to acquire knowledge independently in the future and to understand the discipline-specific forms of problem solving and decision making.
In projects you could also gain first experience in working in interdisciplinary teams and are able to present your results to a scientific audience.
Structure
In addition to the technical foundations, the Bachelor's degree program in Information Engineering also offers you the opportunity to apply the knowledge you have acquired in internships, projects and practice-oriented seminars.
After you have acquired solid basic knowledge in the first four semesters, you have the opportunity to set individual focal points from the 5th semester onwards. You can choose from a wide range of special courses in the fields of informatics and management.
The Bachelor's thesis and the colloquium in the 6th semester conclude the program.

Admissions
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 or invited to an admissions interview.
