    Do you have a technical business concept that you would like to pursue and develop? We will support you with the technical expertise and equipment of the Faculty of Mechanics and Electronics and the necessary business skills. These can include the development of a business model, business plan and innovation management of the degree programme Master Entrepreneurship. You will thus receive support for your own projects and ideas from teachers from Engineering, Business, Administration and IT.

    Would you like to work on an interesting and innovative Research Project and publish your findings? The Focus Research can be studied in English!

    We offer the possibility to do a double degree together with the UTHM in Malaysia within the framework of a Research Master. You will study the first semester in Heilbronn and spend the two following semesters (research project and master thesis) in Batu Bahat at UTHM. After successful completion of your studies, you will then have both the German and the Malaysian Master. For further information, please get in touch with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uwe Gleiter (uwe.gleiter@hs-heilbronn.de).
