Academic Eligibility:

• the bachelor's degree in industrial engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen or
• an equivalent or comparable course in industrial engineering.
• The overall grade of the degree must generally be at least 2.5 or better.
• The examination board determines the equivalence. As a rule, they are regarded as equivalent:
  • a relevant course of at least three and a half years with a first professional qualification and a total workload of at least 210 credits in the field of industrial engineering at another university within the scope of the higher education framework law. or
  • A relevant degree from another university outside the scope of the Framework Act for Higher Education, unless a significant difference in quality to a degree from a university within the scope of the Framework Act can be proven.
  • a bachelor's degree in engineering or business administration at the University of Duisburg-Essen or at another university within the scope of the higher education framework law, subject to conditions.  
• If the qualification (including a specialist internship) is not given, in particular, if a first professional qualification with fewer than 210 credits is available, the examination board can combine admission with the condition that certain competencies are proven by the time the master's thesis is registered. The type and scope of these requirements are individually determined by the examination board on the basis of the course content completed as part of the previous degree. The scope of the requirements is up to 30 ECTS credits.
