GPE Modules

The GPE Program is structured into five module groups Production, Engineering, Management, Intercultural Communication, and Special Profile.

To complete the program a student has to reach 120 credit points (CP) according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

Within the first three semesters, 90 CP has to be reached under the restriction, that at least one module out of every module group is chosen

  • Group A-D each minimum of 12 CP
  • Group E minimum 6 CP

This adds up to 54 credit points. Another 36 credit points have to be chosen from the list of GPE modules.
Students can select these modules according to their qualification goals.

Additionally, during the fourth semester, the remaining 30 CP have to be reached by 

  • doing an internship of at least 9 weeks in a company, whose site is located in a country different from the home culture (12 credit points).
  • and writing a Master Thesis (18 credit points).

After completing the GPE- Program, students will be awarded the degree certificate "Master of Science in Global Production Engineering" signed by the President of the Technical University of Berlin and the Dean of Faculty.
