Two degree programs at TU Ilmenau have achieved top results in the CHE university ranking: Business Information Systems Engineering and Industrial Engineering and Management. This was the result of the currentrankingof the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE), the most comprehensive and detailed comparison of universities in German-speaking countries. For the ranking, which has just been published in the ZEIT Studienführer 2023/24, students rate their own degree programs themselves. With their grades for both business degree programs, they catapulted TU Ilmenau into the top group of all listed German universities.
For the current university ranking of the Center for Higher Education Development, the students of the TU Ilmenau were able to award up to five stars in a variety of evaluation criteria for their study program. Accordingly, the universities are divided into a top, a middle and a bottom group for each subject and criterion. In addition to facts about studies, teaching and research, the ranking includes students' judgments about the study conditions at their university. Each year, different subjects are examined, this year including industrial engineering and business informatics.
In the industrial engineering course, students at TU Ilmenau awarded an average of four out of five stars in the summary criterion "General study situation", and even four and a half out of five stars in the business informatics course. The Vice President for Studies and Teaching, Professor Anja Geigenmüller, is pleased with the excellent ratings of the students in the two business degree programs at the university: "The TU Ilmenau is known for the fact that a course of study is comparatively demanding, regardless of the discipline. This makes it all the more important to have consistent study conditions and very good student support. The rating in the current CHE ranking motivates us to continue to maintain and develop the quality of these and all other study programs."
