Aims of the Degree Program

The focus of the Bachelor's degree program is to impart in-depth and scientifically oriented specialist and methodological skills in the field of economics and in a technical environment.

Graduates have knowledge, skills and abilities at the interface of economics and technology by combining economic and technical knowledge in future-oriented focus areas as well as an integrative view of future challenges of technology-driven companies.

Furthermore, they acquire the ability to critically reflect on today's economy, especially with regard to the increasing digitization efforts (e.g. in the form of digital business models) and sustainability, and can thus also question the effects of their actions in their future profession.

... are familiar with the fundamental and domain-specific application knowledge of special fields of economics in their technological environment and are able to develop this in their skills,
... have knowledge, skills and abilities in basic technical areas and in particular in the key operational and interdisciplinary topics of digitalization, sustainability and entrepreneurship,
... know and can solve challenges in selected, special focus areas of technology-oriented management, e.g. in mobility or sustainable energy supply,
... know essential methods for solving problems and gaining scientific knowledge based on interdisciplinary markets and can apply them appropriately,
... can think analytically and networked, i.e. in macro- and microsystemic terms, recognize complex interrelationships, assess existing problem solutions and develop and practice their own,
... are able to implement scientific findings creatively and in a solution-oriented manner in practically relevant innovations,
... are able to present and discuss their results appropriately,
... reflect not only the economic, but also the social and ecological effects of entrepreneurial decisions,
... can work successfully in a group and communicate efficiently with different target groups,
... are able to use central qualitative and quantitative research methods for their own initial academic work as well as in their professional practice (e.g. with regard to the procurement and use of company or competition-related data),
... are capable and motivated to act responsibly, creatively and independently in the company and, if necessary, in start-ups or company succession,
... and are thus ultimately able to exercise a responsible professional activity in the strategic conception, planning, development, financing and marketing of technology-based products and services in digital and technology-driven markets.

Contents of the Degree Program

The Technology-oriented Management degree program can be divided into the areas of Economics, Technology-oriented Management, Engineering, Mathematics & Methodology, Key Qualifications and Scientific Work.

In the first part of the degree program, the focus is on teaching the relevant basics of the various areas. Building on this, in-depth content is then taught in the area of interdisciplinary markets and entrepreneurial challenges. In the area of career and society, the focus is on dovetailing theory and practice.

Matrix-Struktur Bachelor Technologie-orientiertes Management

In this area, the focus is on teaching business skills. It starts with 2 basic modules in business administration (BWL) as well as one module each from economics, law and business accounting. Later on in the degree program, 2 to 3 specialization modules must then be selected. The current offer includes the following modules:

This area then comprises 30 credit points (CP) from the 5 foundation modules and 12 to 18 CP from the 2 to 3 specialization modules.

The focus in this area is on topics at the interface between management and technology. In addition to links to computer science and engineering, there are also selected challenges faced by companies in this area.

This area starts with an introduction to technology-oriented management (ToM). A lecture series will provide students with initial insights into the fields of technology-oriented management. Possible individual study plans will also be developed in this module.

The first insight into digitization and the relationship to computer science is provided with the introduction to business information systems.

A large practical phase then follows this foundation. The 8-week internship and a business innovation project (in cooperation with companies) are designed to give students practical insights into the broad field of ToM.

This area is then rounded off with the choice of 2 to 3 specializations that deal with the selected challenges (young, digital and sustainable companies).

An insight into the 3 disciplines of engineering (electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering) is provided via the technology pillar. In addition to purely engineering content, students also gain an insight into the economic way of thinking of engineers, as economic aspects are also covered in some of the modules. It often happens that engineers and economists have a different view of the same things and students should also learn to understand the other side.

Students can choose from 6 specializations. A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 specializations must be chosen. If you choose one specialization, you must achieve 30 CP in this specialization and if you choose 2 specializations, you must achieve a total of 30 CP, but at least 10 CP in each specialization.

The following focal points are available:

Methodological knowledge is a necessary tool for solving tasks and problems in many disciplines. In the area of fundamentals, the focus is on the methods of operations research and knowledge of statistics. Statistics in particular is a tool that is becoming increasingly important in the course of processing large amounts of data (data science).

In the area of specialization, the basics are further deepened. However, there are also additional methodologies that deal with the evaluation of qualitative procedures.

The key qualifications help students to further develop their personal and social skills. The TU Braunschweig attaches particular importance to 3 points:

Social competence of students (e.g. events with social aspects, community service projects, etc.)
Personal development of own skills (e.g. language courses, software courses, skills training, etc.)
Get to know new areas (attend events from other TU degree programs)

As part of their academic work, students should learn to deal with topics in an independent scientific manner and prepare the results in term papers and then present them to an audience.

By working through the topics, students gain a very deep insight into the selected topics. Two seminars of 4 CP each serve as preparation for the final Bachelor's thesis. Students can choose from individual or inter-institutional seminars.

The 3-month Bachelor's thesis concludes this area and the degree program itself. Students should work on a topic from the field of technology-oriented management. All professors from the specializations in economics and technology-oriented management are available as supervisors. Depending on the focus of the topic, the thesis can also be written in cooperation with a company. However, this should be discussed with the institutes in advance.

Studying abroad

You can obtain information about the opportunities for a stay abroad in person from the International House (IH) and on its website. The partner universities for economics and some for engineering are at your disposal.

The International Coordinator (international-fk1(at)tu-braunschweig.de) will help you with questions regarding the timing of your stay abroad and the recognition of credits earned abroad.

In the Bachelor's program, we recommend the semester abroad in the 5th or 6th semester. These two semesters consist mainly of compulsory elective courses, so that equivalent achievements can be found or recognized more easily.

Information on possible partner universities can be found on the International House website. Plan your semester abroad well in advance, as the application deadlines are approx. 5 (Erasmus, Europe) or 9 (rest of the world) months before the start of the semester abroad.

Information on the procedure for preparing an exchange plan for the binding recognition of credits can be obtained from your international coordinator.
