Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

Electrical Engineering & Information Technology

Give your career a boost – with an internationally recognised degree of the FOM German-Sino School of Business & Technology! The FOM’s first engineering cooperation programme is a milestone in the university’s involvement with China.
During your German engineering university education you will be studying in Shenyang/China as well as in Essen/Germany. Your chances on the international labour markets will increase due to a double bachelor's degree.
The FOM study concept “3+1” comprises of eight semesters. You will complete your basic studies at the University of Shenyang in Shenyang/China. In the first year of studies the lectures will be held entirely by Chinese professors, in the second and third year of studies the lectures will be held by professors of the University of Shenyang as well as by professors of the FOM.

Career boost with the double bachelor’s degree

The fourth year of the cooperation study programme will be held at the FOM University of Applied Sciences in Essen. There the lectures and seminars will be held in English by professors of the FOM. Proof that you have the required English language level will be provided by a test, for example IELTS (5.5 points) or TOEFEL (80 points). At the same time you will acquire the important skills to successfully apply for work internationally. In addition, you will work on your bachelor thesis in Essen.
Profit from the University's involvement with China, and boost your career with the double bachelor's degree. In addition, increase your chances by pursuing a master program at the FOM.

You will complete your bachelor studies in Electrical Engineering & Information Technology with the academic degree of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.).

Accreditation (Bachelor)

The FOM University of Applied Sciences is accredited by the German Council for Science and Humanities for its special service to education and research and was the first private university in Germany to receive system-accreditation by the FIBAA in 2012. This seal of approval proves that the quality management of the FOM University meets the high standards of the Accreditation Council, the most important body for the quality of studies and education at German universities. In 2018 the FOM University received system-accreditation for further eight years. Thus, all courses of study offered by the FOM are accredited. A bachelor's degree from the FOM University of Applied Sciences generally also qualifies students for a further master's degree and subsequently a PhD programme.
