Application period Winter semester 01 June until 15 July
Standard period of study 8 semesters
Credits 240
Accredited

Yes

Admission restricted Yes
Admission requirements
  • Higher education entrance qualification

Language of instruction German
Faculty/institution School of Nature and Engineering
Integrated stay abroad No
Study format cooperative study mode

Over the course of the four-year programme, you acquire both scientific knowledge as well as practical competence in management, production engineering and the field of aerospace technology (degree: Bachelor of Engineering), including manual skills within the framework of vocational training (Chamber of Industry and Commerce examination). 

Alternating between theory and practical phases, you will attend courses at the Hochschule Bremen and pass through various departments of the cooperating company. 

Career prospects

The cooperative degree programme is ideal preparation for engineering careers in the areas of manufacturing technology, production, planning and development.  

After graduation, you will be much in demand as a highly trained specialist, especially in large, medium-sized and small mechanical engineering enterprises in the automotive industry, the aerospace industry, engineering offices, research institutes or the area of plant applications. 

Advantages of a Cooperative Degree Programme

Two qualifications

Training-integrated degree programmes conclude with two qualifications in one training programme: the internationally recognised Bachelor's degree and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce qualification for the respective training occupation.

Shorter training period

Compared to an apprenticeship and a subsequent degree programme, the time required for a cooperative degree programme is significantly shorter overall.

Career prospects

Students already gain practical experience in the company during their studies. This qualifies them compared to competitors with a conventional degree. Many companies hire graduates of cooperative programmes because they are practice-oriented, determined and ready to perform. In addition, graduates of cooperative programmes are already socially integrated into the company.

Salary

Due to the combination of studies and training, you will receive a salary from the company for the entire duration of your studies. In many cases, the company also pays the semester fees.

Programme structure

In the first three semesters, you will be taught relevant foundation knowledge of mathematics, physics, mechanics, business administration, English, thermodynamics, materials engineering, computer science, electrical engineering as well as design and CAD. After your practical phase in the fourth and fifth semesters, in semesters six to eight you choose between eight compulsory elective modules from the fields of production technology, mechatronics, aerospace technology and materials technology (fibre composite technology, CFRP). 

 The cooperative degree programme ends in the eighth semester with the Bachelor thesis.
