The program's international profile rests on several pillars: its intensive language training, its obligatory international internship, its opportunities for study abroad and the content of the program's curriculum.

The language instruction for professional purposes in the two required languages English and French or another international language of trade in accordance with the language requirements in particular constitutes the basis of the program's international orientation. In the second segment of studies, students can further add to their language skills by using the broad-ranging language offerings available at the faculty (such as Japanese, Spanish or Italian).

The intensive, practice-oriented language training for professional purposes is meaningfully complemented by instruction in intercultural management, intercultural synergies as well as nationally specific difference in company cultures.

In the seventh semester, all students are required to do an internship abroad. The internship is worth 18 credit points, and it needs to be conducted in one piece and in one enterprise. It is each student's individual responsibility to find an internship place for themselves. RheinMain University of Applied Sciences provides and introductory workshop to support students in finding an internship place.

The internship requirement serves the following goals:

• familiarization with the professional field of industrial engineering
• insight into the professional world in the host country and identifying nationally distinct features of professional contexts
• acquisition of hands-on knowledge and skills and familiarization with career-specific procedures and methods
• getting to know typical engineering, organizational and societal contexts
• participation in work processes by working on specific, clearly defined projects and procedures within the professional field of industrial engineering
