Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)Automation Systems and Production Informatics
Production processes are largely fully automated. Highly qualified engineers develop and optimise them innovatively and efficiently on the basis of Automation Systems. You too want to work in this high-tech sector? With a degree in Automation Systems and Production Informatics, you can get started in many industries and actively help shape the digitalisation of production.
You will be well positioned in the field of automation and digitalisation: Topics that are of great importance for companies in all sectors in the context of safeguarding the future and further development. Thanks to the hands-on training, you can be immediately employed as a fully-fledged specialist. You will have a wide range of skills to get you started straight away: With world market leaders in the automotive industry or in mechanical engineering, with their suppliers and with innovative medium-sized companies.
You will be choosing a study programme with a promising future
The level of automation in the factory of the future is very high – and so is the need for skilled workers:
Check the requirements Do you have a university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur/Fachhochschulreife), a school leaving qualification from a country other than Germany, or a vocational qualification? If you do, you have already fulfilled the first requirement.
Apply to enrol When you have uploaded all your documents and certificates by the deadline specified and paid the mandatory fees and subscriptions, you must confirm your details and submit them to us. This automatically submits your enrolment application. You are then enrolled for the upcoming semester at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences. You will receive an email welcoming you to Esslingen and providing you with some initial information.
Is my university place guaranteed when I enrol for this degree programme?
Yes, for degree programmes which have no admission restrictions (no NC), there is no prior selection procedure. All applicants will be awarded a university place directly when all necessary documents have been submitted by the enrolment deadline, the documents have been examined and the administration fees have been paid.
Can I enrol although I have not yet received my final certificate?
Unfortunately not. We require your certificate by the enrolment deadline at the latest.
What are the advantages of the different study models and how do I apply for them?
You are financially secure and acquire a thorough knowledge of a company while you are still studying.
If you decide to take the “Degree Programme Plus” option, you combine an apprenticeship and a degree programme (leading to a B.Eng. degree) at Esslingen.
With the “degree programme with enhanced phases of practical experience”, you enter into an agreement with one of our partner companies to complete all the practical phases of your programme in that company and work there during the semester break. In return, the company supports you financially while you are studying.
For whom is the study programme suitable?
You enjoy high-tech and electronics.
You are interested in computers and Information Technology.
You are interested in systematically analysing and solving problems.
Accuracy and openness to new things are some of the skills you have.
Maths and physics are not difficult for you at school.
You are in a particularly good position if you have already completed an apprenticeship in the technical field.
Open communication
During my studies at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, I certainly appreciated the pleasant working atmosphere during the lectures and the open communication with my lecturers and the President’s Office. The lectures in combination with the associated labs helped me a lot in practice.
