Bachelor’s degree
Inter­na­tional Bachelor of Engin­eering

The International Bachelor of Engineering is taught at the Faculty of Engineering at the Rosenheim Campus or at the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Economics at the Burghausen Campus. of TH Rosenheim. The aim of this programme is to offer an easy-entry study model and flexible choice of the right degree programme even after the start of your studies. During the common first semester, you will choose from one of the ten specialisations similar to the engineering bachelor's degree programs offered at either campus, including all required and elective modules. German language courses, practical units and internships make this study model an even better choice.

You can choose one of the following specialisations:

Campus Rosenheim: 

• Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
• Energy and Building Technology
• Engineering and Management
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechatronics
• Medical Technology (B.Eng.)
• Plastics Engineering / Sustainable Polymer Engineering

Campus Burghausen:

• Chemical Engineering 
• Process Automation 
• Environmental Technology

Universities of Applied Sciences have a very hands-on approach to studying. Therefore, the International Bachelor of Engineering includes a compulsory practical semester in which all students gain professional experience during an internship in cooperation with a regional company. Close ties to many companies in one of Germany's strongest economic regions allow for a practice-oriented study programme.We aim at connecting you with the industry at an early stage so you will be able to gain first-hand experience as easily and as quickly as possible.  

After graduation, you will have acquired the very best practical engineering knowledge, international key qualifications and you will be proficient in both German and English.

Last but not least, the cities of Rosenheim and Burghausen are not only located in close proximity to urban Munich but are surrounded by beautiful lakes based at the foothills of the Alps, offering various leisure activities.

• 1st - 3rd semester: basic studies in English with common first semester and engineering fundamentals, e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Informatics + German language courses
• 4th - 5th semester: main studies in German conforming to your specialisation
• 6th semester: practical semester in industry in Germany or abroad
• 7th - 8th semester: main studies in German conforming to your specialisation + Bachelor's thesis

Still undecided which specialisation in Engineering is right for you? The IBE curriculum is your best choice. The modular basic studies will teach you Engineering fundamentals, but keep the study programme flexible. Start your studies in any specialisation offered at Rosenheim or Burghausen, get to know the topics on-site and then decide. You can still change within specialisations offered at Campus Rosenheim in the first semester – and within specialisations offered at Campus Burghausen even during the first year.

During your main studies, elective modules and optional trainings allow you to follow your interests and gain an individual set of competences.

After having completed the first part of the International Bachelor of Engineering, the basic studies at Rosenheim or Burghausen, you are sufficiently prepared to change into the main study course. There, you will study alongside German students in one of the nine specialisations the two campuses have to offer.

Please note that the specialisations offered during the main study course are only specialisations within the IBE and not separate degree programmes!

One of the advantages of studying at TH Rosenheim is the direct link to the industry with hands-on study experience and mandatory internships. You will get to work in either a regional company or abroad. After having gained experience in German and English, you will profit from both language skills not only in an international internship setting, but in a local one as well. At the same time, you will start networking with possible employers and gain valuable knowledge to build your career on. Sometimes, an internship even leads to a job offer after graduation.

Around 1,000 young men and women are preparing for their future careers as engineers at this faculty. The Faculty of Engineering as a whole is distinguished by its outstanding practical orientation and quality in teaching in our Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes. 29 professors, 40 staff members and many lecturers from all areas of industry and business take care of the professional and comprehensive education of our students. 23 laboratories help students deepen their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. We maintain contacts with universities in Germany and abroad, with research institutions and with commercial enterprises.

The Faculty of Chemical Technology and Economics is located at Campus Burghausen and thus in the immediate vicinity of international chemical industry groups and numerous industry-related service companies. The courses offered are heavily geared to the requirements of the industry, with theory and practice linked closely. This ensures excellent career prospects. Eight professors, various lecturers and teaching staff as well as a laboratory team working in one of the six laboratories ensure that the faculty's approximately 350 students receive an excellent education -in practical application as well as through close networking with local companies.

After graduating, young electrical engineers join companies in communications technology, medical technology, automation technology or aerospace industry in the greater Munich area.

Experts in energy technology are in demand wherever energy is involved, for example in the development and/or design of energyefficient products and buildings

Industrial engineers ensure the knowledge transfer between the technical and economical pillars of industries: project management, controlling, logistics, purchasing, production, marketing and more.

For mechanical engineers, areas of employment range from mechanical engineering and plant construction over electrical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries to iron and steel or even food processing.

Future employers can be found in the precision engineering industry, automotive technology, alternative and regenerative energy technology, or in environmental and biotechnology.

Medical engineers are needed in many fields of the health care industry, including research and development of products and procedures in industrial companies or the admission of medical devices

Due to the wide range of uses for materials, plastics engineers enjoy attractive career opportunities, for example in the recycling industry. They develop sustainable solutions for the polymer industry

Graduates are employed in various fields in the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industry, such as analytics and quality assurance, project engineering, process development, or research and development.

Graduates can choose from a wide range of career opportunities, for example environmental measurement technology, waste management or air pollution control and emission protection.

Process automation engineers work on automation tasks in the process industry and have access to a variety of occupational fields, including process control engineering or project engineering for automation.
