Course Structure:

During the three years of study, you will be prepared to participate in the design and implementation of cyber-physical business systems across different disciplines. In addition to a strong informatics core, the program teaches foundations of business and electrical engineering to establish speaking skills in these disciplines. You will deepen this knowledge continuously in practical exercises and project work. In the process, you train social and communication skills.

In the semesters1-4 of the program, you will learn about the essential concepts and principles of programming languages, algorithms and data structures, software engineering, database systems, computer networks, and cyber-physical systems. Furthermore, you will acquire knowledge in mathematical basics, like analysis, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics. You will move on to study the fundamental concepts of information systems, such as enterprise architecture management and business process management and will learn how to present a scientific seminar paper

In the semesters5-6 of the program, you will set an individual focus and choose a research area from a large pool of special courses from the fields of informatics and management. You will also apply your theoretical skills in a joint project with industry partners and complete your final thesis. The Department of Informatics encourages its students to spend a part of their studies abroad and supports theming doing so.

Perspective & Job Prospects

After your degree, numerous opportunities arise, whether in the form of direct employment at a corporation, freelance work, or the continuation of your studies. The next stage is the master's degree and, thereafter, a doctorate. The Master of Science in Information Engineering (at TUM Campus Heilbronn) is expected to start in the winter semester 2023/24. Should you decide to embark on a professional career after the successful completion of your degree, you can take up employment as an innovation manager, project manager, information manager, consultant, or software engineer.

You can work in all industry sectors, including business, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, and medicine. Graduates of the Technical University of Munich often pursue leadership positions in IT and corporate management.
