Engineers are highly-respected and in great demand in Germany. A recent survey of HTWG graduates shows that our students have a solid reputation among employers: The majority of the students we surveyed had landed a permanent position with a salary above the national average (ranging from € 4,250 to more than € 6,500) in only three months after completing their degree! This is more than € 400 above the average entry level salary for college graduates in Germany.

Engineering and Management in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
The intersection between technology and business
We all want electronic devices and technical products that are affordable, reliable, powerful, and sustainable. Turning a technical idea into a successful product, however, requires more than engineering and it also involves production, supply chains, logistics, costs, and distribution.
This is where industrial engineers work at the intersection of technology and business. They aim to make technical products efficient to produce, economically viable, and accessible to many people. They also optimize production processes, manage global supply chains, and help companies combine innovation with economic efficiency.
Today, sustainability is just as important as cost and performance. Products must be considered throughout their entire life cycl: from development and manufacturing to use, reuse, and recycling. Industrial engineers therefore need knowledge of technology, business, markets, project management, supply chains, environmental impacts, sustainable production, and the circular economy.
This creates a diverse and exciting field connecting technology, business, and sustainability.
If you are interested in electrical and information engineering and want to understand how technical products can be developed economically and sustainably throughout their life cycle, then a degree in Industrial Engineering in Electrical and Information Engineering is the right choice.
Help shape sustainable and reliable systems through your studies in Industrial Engineering in Electrical and Information Engineering.
Languages of Instruction
You can choose to study in English or German.
The EIB degree program requires English language skills at level B2 (or German language skills at level C1), as evidenced by an official certificate.
We highly recommend learning some German before coming to Konstanz (level A1 or higher) to make daily life, especially studying, easier. Some specialization areas require German, as some courses are only offered in German.
Good Reasons to Study Management of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies at the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz
- 2. The Combination of Tradition and Future-orientation
Since its founding in 1906, the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz has trained thousands of successful, young engineers. Our professors continually adjust their course content to include the latest technical and social developments. The University of Applied Sciences Konstanz places special emphasis on the major issues of sustainability and digitalization. This degree program will provide you with the optimal preparation to help find solutions for the challenges of the future.
- 3. Practical Orientation and Company Connections
One of our strengths at the HTWG Konstanz is our focus on applied knowledge: Our students gain practical experience in labs, work early on in their studies on real world topics, and apply their new knowledge in projects. They apply the knowledge they’ve gained in companies during their integrated internship semesters. They also often write their thesis in companies.
And by the way: All of our faculty and instructors have spent multiple years working for top-notch companies outside the university system. This practical experience gives them a solid knowledge base and a host of useful company contacts that help our students get a foot in the door.
- 4. Strong economic region with high quality of life
The University of Applied Sciences Konstanz is located in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, only a stone’s throw from Switzerland and right next door to Austria and Liechtenstein. Baden-Württemberg boasts a strong economy, high level of safety standards, and is an attractive place to live. The state is known as “the home of the tinkerers, inventors and doers”. More than 15,000 patents are registered here per year! Some of the world’s most famous companies - including Bosch, Daimler, Porsche and Kärcher - have their headquarters here. And the 1.8% unemployment rate for those with academic degrees is one of the lowest in all of Germany
- 5. Exceptional Student Advising
International students feel right at home on our compact campus with its friendly, informal atmosphere. The small semester cohorts and class sizes allow for more direct, personal contact to faculty, who can then provide more individualized advising. In addition to their regular classes, all students in the SET program take German classes that help them to feel at home in Germany. Studying alongside both domestic and international students help prepare our students to work internationally.
- 6. Make Your Ideas, Plans, and Aspirations a Reality During Your Studies
During your studies, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to bring your own ideas to life, for example through student (interdisciplinary) team projects or your thesis.
You can gain international and work experience during your practical semester or one of your study semesters. The university has numerous partner universities around the world, giving you a wide range of opportunities to study abroad.
You can also develop your skills in areas such as languages, theater, innovation, and start-ups through the electives offered as part of the university’s central extracurricular program.
In addition, you’ll have access to a wide range of modern, well-equipped laboratories that you can also use for your own personal projects. For example, our Open Innovation Lab features do-it-yourself workshops equipped with augmented and virtual reality systems, laser cutters, and 3D scanners and printers.
Have a business idea? Our start-up advisory service can support you with everything you need to know about launching your own business.
