Our Society needs sustainable technical solutions!
What did you study and why? First, I did an apprenticeship as a chemical technician. Then I studied chemical technology at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and environmental sciences at the University of Rostock. My motivation then as well as now is: our modern society is dependent on sustainable technical-chemical solutions.
What did you like about your studies; what didn't you like? I liked understanding connections and being able to link more and more technical content with the knowledge I acquired. I didn't like having to get up early to work in the lab.
What does your career path mean to you today? It is one of many possible paths, all of which would probably have been very interesting. Being able to be a university lecturer today is the jackpot for me.
What do students actually learn with you as their professor? They get to know all the equipment that is used to turn raw materials into products. Equipment that crushes, heats, cools, separates, mixes and transports. They will learn how these devices are connected, how they function in production plants and, above all, how they conserve resources.
What makes the bachelor's degree program "Engineering and Management" in Merseburg special? The combination of technology, natural sciences, business administration, management, intercultural skills and foreign languages as a fully English-language, international degree program in cooperation with Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg. For students who would like to work internationally in the future, this is a door opener.
From your point of view: what fields of work and research will the future bring? The topic of sustainability of all processes will keep us busy for a long time to come. Digitization and AI will play a central role in this and it will develop and provide important tools for this.
Professor Ulf Schubert is the supervisor for the Engineering and Management program.
Training objectives
The program’s primary goal is to develop highly competent engineers who possess a deep understanding of both economic principles and intercultural communication. Graduates are equipped to analyze international markets and logistical processes while maintaining a thorough mastery of the technical equipment and production facilities under their management. By combining academic training in Germany with intensive language studies in German or a third foreign language, graduates gain the essential tools to build lasting business relationships and effectively shape international production chains and global trade.
Profile
There are four profile-forming thematic fields.
Engineering
The curriculum begins with a solid foundation in the natural sciences through Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. Building on this, students master engineering basics including Material Science, Transport Phenomena, Thermodynamics, Mechanics, and Electrical Engineering. Advanced coursework focuses on Process Engineering, covering specialized areas such as Process Control, Equipment Design, and Sustainable Energy Supply. Through electives, students can further specialize in Biotechnology, Environmental Technology, CAD, or Plant Engineering. These modules are highly application-oriented and emphasize hands-on practical experience.
Communication and Intercultural Knowledge
Effective communication is vital in a globalized professional environment. Because intercultural awareness is a prerequisite for successful international collaboration, the program includes a dedicated module specifically designed to develop these essential soft skills. This training ensures that students are well-prepared for the challenges of working in diverse, multinational teams and provides them with the tools needed to navigate complex cultural nuances in a professional setting.
Business and Economics
This part of the program draws on modules from the BSc Business Economics at Martin Luther University, providing students with in-depth economic expertise. The curriculum covers essential subjects such as Financial Accounting, Statistics (I & II), Cost Accounting, and Principles of Investment. A wide selection of electives is also available, allowing students to explore the full spectrum of business and economics. To complement this, Merseburg University of Applied Sciences provides specialized modules in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, ensuring a well-rounded professional profile.
Language
Language is the primary key to academic and professional integration. The degree program is taught in English; however, it incorporates specific language tracks based on the students' backgrounds. International students complete five semesters of German as a Foreign Language (DaF), earning 5 ECTS per semester. Conversely, German-speaking students undertake intensive courses in Business and Technical English. Additionally, the program offers the opportunity to study Spanish as a second foreign language over three semesters to further enhance global mobility.
Study content and modules
The content of the study programme is divided into four areas which are colour-coded in the module plan.
Blue = Engineering
Green = Business and Economics
Orange = Languages
Red = Communication and Intercultural Knowledge
Yellow = Internship and Bachelor thesis
The elective subjects are shown in the two tables below. Two modules each with 5 ECTS must be selected and completed from the technical and economic areas.
