Industrial Engineering & Management
Internship & studying abroad
The Industrial Engineering and Management program includes a six-month practical study semester (internship), which can be completed abroad.
In addition, students can study abroad for one semester at one of the partner universities. HKA maintains cooperations with 180 partner universities worldwide.
Those who wish to spend an entire year abroad can combine both options and obtain the “Bachelor International” degree after fulfilling additional criteria.
For students seeking to gain more extensive international experience, there are dual degree programs available with the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL) in Santa Fe, Argentina, or with the École d'ingénieur-e-s (EPF) in Cachan near Paris.
Internship semester - global option
Usually in the fifth semester, students undertake a six-month practical study semester (internship) in a company of their choice, which may take place, if they want to, in a country with a language other than their native language. They work in a typical engineering or business field and gain practical experience (abroad), in-depth knowledge in an engineering or business field, and intercultural competence.
During the internship semester, you will be coached by professors from the Faculty. In addition to personal and professional development, valuable contacts for the future can be made.
Exchange semester abroad
For students of Industrial Engineering and Management who would like to gain further experience abroad, we offer the possibility to complete an additional study semester abroad.
The voluntary study semester abroad is carried out after completion of the basic studies. There are over 180 partner universities worldwide to choose from.
Credits earned at the host university are transferred to HKA (up to a maximum of 30 ECTS credit points). A variety of financial support is available for study abroad semesters, such as Erasmus+.
A semester abroad allows you to expand your foreign language skills, gain intercultural experience, establish international contacts and grow as a person. This will make you particularly interesting for the job market.
