Global Production Engineering

          Global Production Engineering is a full-time four-semester course of study offered at the Berlin Technical University in Berlin, Germany. The curriculum is designed for outstanding international graduate students seeking to improve their personal competence portfolio in the fields of production, management, engineering, and intercultural communication. The strong international orientation of our program can be seen in the fact that 95% of our students are natives of countries other than Germany. To date, we have entertained students from 43 different countries among our student body. Most courses are taught in English, giving students the option of taking all of their courses in the English language.

          The GPE course of study acquired an 8-year accreditation in 2006 from the ASIIN, a special accreditation agency for the curricula of engineering sciences, computer science, natural sciences, and mathematics. This accreditation reaffirms and expands the high standards and quality of the program.

          GPE currently offer two majors: Manufacturing and Solar. Manufacturing is the older of the two majors, introduced at the beginning of the GPE program in 1998. Solar was founded in 2007 as a way of developing technological potential in this area of international engineering education. The strong connection between the solar industry and the research institutes in Berlin and Brandenburg brings theory and practice together in one place.

          This research-oriented education with its quasi-practical application in labs and associated thesis work allows students to get an early start on assuming tasks bearing responsibility at the university and in research. In addition, the last ten years have seen the formation of a global network of alumni, where alumni exchange information and provide mutual support for each other. GPE graduates today are collaborating on challenges such as construction of the Shanghai subway, production of German automobiles, or in projects setting up sustainable factories in the Amazon rain forest.
