Master's Thesis with Colloquium (30 ECTS)

You will undertake this either in a laboratory of Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences or in collaboration with industry.

Course Profile International

You can choose the International study program profile if you will be taking at least 20 ECTS credits at an university abroad. You will not work on a master's project in this profile. It is also possible to obtain a double degree with a foreign university. This Course Profile can be studied in English!

Course Profile Development Management

In the Development Management program profile, you will study economics and business administration subjects in addition to your engineering education. You can apply for this profile by submitting a letter of motivation to the Dean of Studies for Master's Programs from the time you are admitted to the program until the end of the third week after lectures begin.

Course Profile Research

Would you like to work on an interesting and innovative Research Project and publish your findings?  This Course Profile 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).    

Requirements and Application

Before applying to Heilbronn University, non-German Bachelor degrees need to be declared equivalent to a German first degree. Therefore, please also hand in the filled in "Application for recognition of an international certificate" below. 

Please note: Requirement for admission is also a grade 2.5 or better (German grading scale) in the Bachelor degree.
