In the interdisciplinary Master's degree programme Industrial Engineering and Management, you will deepen and supplement the academic qualifications you acquired in your Bachelor's degree in an individual way – in the subjects of business administration, economics, informatics and engineering. The standard period of study is four semesters, and you will earn 120 credit points (CP) based on the ECTS framework.
- How it is organised
- In your first two semesters, you will focus on securing your primary knowledge in the Quantitative Core Module. Within the Quantitative Core Module you will choose carefully selected courses in economics, business administration, operations research, statistics or informatics.
- Study abroad
- You have various options for integrating a stay abroad into your Master's degree course. For example, you can study at a foreign university of your choice for one or two semesters via Erasmus+ or as a free mover.
- Support for international students

From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Karlsruhe
A planned city built as a fan around a palace, with an Excellence University, the highest courts and a media-art centre.
Karlsruhe has about 309,000 residents and is the third-largest city in Baden-Württemberg. It was drawn on a drawing board in 1715: 32 streets run out from the palace like the ribs of a fan, which is why people call it the Fächerstadt.
