Are you looking for an exciting and promising course of study and are still undecided, are you "spoilt for choice"? Then the info event "Meet your future!" is just right for you!

How do you create a resource-efficient future? What does the future of the global information society look like? The degree programmes in Industrial Engineering and Management (WING) and Business & Information Systems Engineering (WIN) at the University of Augsburg focus on crucial questions like these. The information event "Meet your future!" will once again give pupils who are about to take their A-levels and other prospective students well-founded information about the prerequisites, special features and perspectives of a WING or WIN degree programme. In addition to campus tours and a taster lecture by Prof. Dr. Henner Gimpel, there will also be the opportunity to talk in detail with representatives and current students of both degree programmes.

We kindly invite you to gain a deeper insight into the two degree programmes Industrial Engineering and Business Informatics at the University of Augsburg:

• WING: Experts for resource problems

The industrial engineering programme - the first graduates received their diplomas in December 2014 - is still unique in Germany. In the Bachelor's and Master's programmes, it teaches business management as well as materials science and resource strategy skills. Due to the interdisciplinary orientation of the study programme, students are enabled to competently contribute to an economically and technically efficient handling of rare raw materials and resources as well as to the research and development of new sustainable materials. Practice and research-oriented events such as laboratory practicals and interdisciplinary project seminars are integral parts of the curriculum.

• WIN: Customised for a highly attractive labour market

The synergetic interaction of research, teaching and practice characterises the Augsburg Bachelor's degree programme in Business & Information Systems  Engineering. In this interaction, all relevant requirements of the highly attractive job market, to which WIN is oriented, are covered. The Business and Information Systems students at the University of Augsburg are very satisfied with this general study situation. This is shown, among other things, by the current CHE ranking, which was published in May 2017. The WIN academics design the methods-based business studies and computer science education in close cooperation with top-class practical partners. In soft skill seminars, students also acquire important competencies for effective collaboration with colleagues and business partners, which is crucial for a successful career.

The programme includes:

• Presentation of the degree programmes and tips on studying
• An introductory lecture on WING and WIN by Prof. Dr. Henner Gimpel
• Guided campus tours
• A cozy "get-together“ with professors, lecturers and students

Credit can be awarded here for academic achievements in areas in which core informatics (fundamentals and methods) is taught and not exclusively individual case-related programming or application. For example: architecture and functioning of computers, operating systems, data structures, databases, algorithms, software design, programming.
This includes subjects such as:

• Algorithms and data structures
• Databases / database systems
• Computer Science (especially the courses "Informatik 1, 2 and 3")

Please note: as eligibility in the area of core informatics, basic computer science courses - analogous to "Informatik 1", "Informatik 2" and "Database Systems" - are required. Courses of the Faculty of Economic Sciences cannot be taken in this area.

Not creditable here are academic achievements from areas in which mathematical methods are generally only applied.
These include subjects such as:

• Automation Technology

• Content Management Systeme

• ERP Systems

• Design and development of web applications

There is a particular need for examinations in subjects that can be oriented in such a way that methods are both taught and only applied.
This applies, for example, to

• Databases Application

• Programming

• Theoretical computer science

Courses of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Augsburg cannot be claimed in the area of core computer science.

Academic achievements from areas in which mathematical methods are taught as the main subject and not only applied are creditable here.
For example, propositional logic and reasoning, analysis, linear algebra, descriptive statistics, inductive statistics, optimization methods of operations research.
This includes subjects such as:

• Algebra

• Analysis

• Financial mathematics

• Business Intelligence

• Bookkeeping, accounting

• Controlling

• Data processing

• Investment accounting, cost and performance accounting

• Market/marketing research

• Operations Management

• Business Information Systems

• Scientific work

There is a particular need for examinations in subjects that may be oriented in such a way that methods are both taught as a core subject and only applied in sub-areas.
This applies, for example, to:

• Decision theory

• Empirical Economics

• Financial economics, financial management

• Logistics Management

• Logic and Discrete Structures

• Planning and Forecasting Systems

• Risk management

Business Administration with a Focus on Operations and Financial Management

In this area, modules must be proven that can be assigned to business administration with a focus on operations and financial management.
For example, production and logistics management, service management, investment and financing theory, value-oriented corporate management.
This includes subjects such as:

• Controlling

• Accounting

• Finance / financial management

• Investment and financing

• Logistcs

• Production

Not creditable here are academic achievements in areas in which no reference to operations and financial management can be identified.
This includes subjects such as:

• Consultancy Management

• Business Communication

• European Business

• International Management

• Tax Law

• Business Law

There is a special need for examinations in subjects that can be related to operations and financial management.
This concerns for example:

• Business management procedures

• Corporate management

Academic achievements from the field of business informatics are creditable here.
For example, process management, data management, information management, knowledge management, development and operation of information systems, core business systems, digital value creation.
This includes subjects such as:

• Operational Databases

• Customer Relationship Management

• Data Mining

• Data protection and information security

• Electronic Commerce

• ERP Systems

Academic achievements from areas in which the focus is only on economics or (core) computer science are not creditable here.

Based on this information, you can find out whether you have a sufficient number of credit points in the individual areas.

In general, the necessary credit points can be earned through e.g. a previous degree programme, a double or additional degree programme or through additional examinations (which, however, do not necessarily require a degree).

The assignment of credits is made according to the content of the courses. In some cases, courses from different universities may have the same title, but still teach different competences. The assessment of the content is based on the descriptions in the module catalogue ("Modulhandbuch"). It is therefore essential that you enclose the corresponding excerpts of the relevant subjects from the module catalogue with your application (failure to do so will result in formal rejection). Exception: This is not required for courses at the University of Augsburg.

The final decision in the aptitude assessment process is made by the Admissions Committee (see Examination Regulations, Appendix 1). A legally binding statement can therefore only be made AFTER the application documents have been submitted and checked.

The information is therefore not legally binding, but helps with orientation and classification.

Please note:

• An academic achievement can only be considered once in a competence area.
• The academic achievements must be available at the time of application. Subsequent submission is not possible.
