Overview

In the Bachelor’s/Master’s degree course, alongside technical knowledge, the sales engineers of tomorrow learn so-called “soft skills” such as presentation techniques, in order to sell products and services. Sales engineering and product management integrates specialist mechanical engineering knowledge at a share of about two-thirds, and non-technical content which makes up about one-third of the degree. A central component is the proximity to industry, plus the fact that the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also works closely with other disciplines at the RUB. This degree is unique among German universities.

• Start: Winter semester only
• Application: Restricted.
• Taught in: German

Industry-oriented from the first semester on

In the Bachelor’s/Master’s degree course, alongside technical knowledge, the sales engineers of tomorrow learn so-called “soft skills” such as presentation techniques, in order to sell products and services. Sales engineering and product management integrates specialist mechanical engineering knowledge and non-technical content, which makes up about one-third of the degree. This degree is unique among German universities. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering works closely with other disciplines at the RUB, for example, economics, as well as with industry.

With lecturers and guest speakers from industry, the connection to practice is established from the first semester on. In addition, where possible you should write your Master’s thesis in a foreign company. After seven semesters of regular study time you can acquire the degree Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), and after a further three semesters the degree Master of Science (M.Sc.).
