About the course

A seven-semester (210 ECTS) B.Eng. taught in English that combines engineering and technology with business management. In the final semesters you can choose modules to set your own focus.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • Germany: the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with the subject/level combination required by German rules. You need six subjects, at least two at Higher Level H5 or better and the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For engineering you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. OTH requires everyone with a foreign school-leaving certificate to get a VPD from uni-assist. Confirm with OTH admissions.
  • OTH’s English-taught programmes require English at B2 and German at A2 (German by enrolment). On other OTH programme pages, the accepted English proofs are a school qualification obtained in English, TOEFL 72, IELTS 5.0, Cambridge First, TOEIC 785 or PTE Academic 59. Ask admissions whether your Leaving Cert counts.

How to apply

  1. Check your subjectsTake Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science and aim for at least H5 in both, and meet the general German subject/level rules.
  2. Get a VPD from uni-assistApply to uni-assist early in 2027 so the VPD is ready before the 15 July deadline.
  3. Apply on PrimussApply on the OTH Amberg-Weiden Primuss portal during the winter application period (15 April to 15 July, standing dates) with your VPD and proof of English at B2.
  4. Get German A2 and enrolGet a German A2 certificate before enrolment and pay the semester contribution to start in October 2027.
Leaving Cert students: results come out in August, after this deadline, and uni-assist doesn’t accept predicted Leaving Cert grades. If you’re applying with 2027 results, check with the university before relying on this date. This deadline still works if you already have your results.
Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: Winter semester (starts 1 October): the programme’s application page gives 15 April to 15 July. Summer semester: 1 November to 15 January. OTH says deadlines may be extended in exceptional cases, so check the applicant portal. These are the standing annual dates, not dates confirmed for 2027..

Costs

  • No tuition fees for EU/EEA students. You pay only the semester contribution, which OTH Amberg-Weiden lists as EUR 87 per semester (about EUR 174 a year). The EUR 500 per semester study service fee applies only to non-EU/EEA nationals. uni-assist charges its own fee for the VPD.
German engineering entry rules mean you need Higher Level Maths and a Higher Level science at H5. You also need a German A2 certificate to enrol, even though teaching is in English.
