Discover Internationality at TH Lübeck: Our New International Tracks
The Lübeck University of Applied Sciences (TH Lübeck) continues to expand its international profile and is now offering five future-oriented International Tracks taught in English:
- Computer Science/Software Engineering (B.Sc.)
- Information Technology and Design (B.Sc.)
- Civil Engineering (B.Eng.)
- Environmental Engineering (B.Sc.)
- Business Administration and Engineering (B.Sc.)
These tracks are the centerpiece of our internationalization strategy, offering maximum flexibility for all students.
For Our Incoming Students
The tracks are designed so that relevant modules can be selected across different subject areas. This allows international guest students to assemble a customized and interdisciplinary learning profile tailored exactly to their needs.
For TH Lübeck Students
These tracks serve as specialized concentrations, offering a unique opportunity for "Internationalization@home." Without having to leave campus, you can prepare for international contexts and the global job market within a global learning environment. You will acquire valuable intercultural competencies and improve your language skills in subject-specific contexts—providing ideal preparation for a future global career.

Eng.
Civil Engineering, B. Eng.
We offer an English Track (ET) at TH Lübeck in the department of civil engineering jointly with the department of applied sciences. The English track comprises 4 (completed) + 1 (in development) courses and is offered during the summer semester with a focus on environment and water. We are working on completing the English track with 5 courses during the winter semester with a focus on construction, material, business and operation. The courses are mostly for higher semesters after the third semester.

Concentration „Logistics, Trade and Sustainability”
The Bachelor's degree program in “Business Administration & Engineering” offers a total of five concentrations (International Business, Industrial Logistics, Transport Logistics, Business Informatics, and Mechanical Engineering). Each of these areas of specialization comprises five subjects, each worth 5 ECTS credits. Two of these subjects must be completed in English.
In addition, students are offered the opportunity to complete a concentration purely taught in English entitled “Logistics, Trade, and Sustainability.” Those who choose this specialization can select five subjects from the English-language lectures of the five concentrations mentioned above. Alternatively, there is also the option of including the English-language subjects “Methods of Market Research” and “Marketing in the Global Economy” from the “English Track” of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration in the curriculum of the specialization.
Incoming students can also choose other modules from the English Track in Business Administration.Module ECTS Contact hours Term Business Process Engineering (PDF) 5 4 Summer Contemporary Issues in Global Economics 5 4 Summer Data Science (PDF) 5 4 Summer Distribution Logistics 5 4 Summer Integrated Systems (PDF) 5 4 Summer Marketing in the Global Economy (PDF) 5 4 Winter Materials Handling (PDF) 5 4 Summer Methods of Market Research (PDF) 5 4 Summer Product Development/ Engineering Design (PDF) 5 4 Summer Trade, Investment and Sustainability 5 4 Summer Transportation Economics 5 4 Winter Vibration Control/Automated Control Systems (PDF) 5 4 Winter
