Entry requirements

Qualified students with a bachelor's degree in the natural sciences or engineering (including industrial engineering) from colleges or universities may be admitted to the degree programme. The module composition in the first semester depends on the focus of the bachelor's degree programme.

Graduates of university degree programmes and/or foreign graduates with 180 ECTS points are offered a supplementary/transitional course of study by HFU, which compensates in particular for the practical experience and language skills that may be lacking.
