A Degree Program with a Future
As a student, you can enroll in the full-time or part-time version of the degree program. As a part-time student, you will take part in the same courses as full-time students. However, you have the option to complete the program on your own pace in six to eight semesters, instead of in four. For engineers who want to start a part time program while they work, Information Technology is an outstanding opportunity to link academic work with professional experience.

The degree program covers a wide range of aspects that are essential to successfully launching a career in the IT industry and in machine and system engineering.
Intelligent devices and systems are becoming a part of our lives in more and more areas. This increases the demand for well-trained engineers and computer sciences experts who
- can solve diverse and complex tasks
- have the necessary technical skills
- can successfully implement responsible development of these systems at the management level
- contribute the necessary expertise expected today from modern managers in international technology companies interesting and challenging topics as part of a student activity as well as in the context of their master's thesis.
We cooperate with a large number of regional and national companies in fields such as
- engineering
- automation technology
- drive technology
Research and development projects, including through the it's OWL cluster, integrate current knowledge from professional practice directly into our coursework.
Our faculty carries out a wide range of application-oriented and fundamental research projects. We participate in national and international research programs.
As a student, you can participate in a variety of ways: we integrate research content into coursework, integrate you as a student into the active work of research groups early on, and deal with some research content in the framework of theses.

Studying at Innovation Campus Lemgo
At the Innovation Campus in Lemgo, you’ll study at one of the most exciting technology hubs in North Rhine-Westphalia. Here you’ll find state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms, as well as science-to-business factories. Take, for example, the Centrum Industrial IT, where companies from across the OWL region have established branches. Or the Smart Factory OWL, which demonstrates data and AI management. At the Future Food Factory OWL—unique in Europe—similar activities take place, this time focused on food production. New Work and knowledge transfer converge at InnovationSPIN. Here, TH OWL, the district administration, and the skilled trades demonstrate transparent collaboration and a spirit that fosters innovation. In addition to the Fraunhofer IOSB-INA, the campus is also home to two vocational colleges as well as the Bundesliga handball club TBV Lemgo-Lippe. And best of all: the campus features student housing just a short walk from the university and downtown.
