What are the entry requirements?

The prerequisite for admission to the programme is a successfully completed industrial engineering or engineering degree with a Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma degree with 210 ECTS credits. In addition, proof of at least one year of professional experience is required. Engineers must furthermore present additional economic knowledge in the form of courses, professional practice etc.. If necessary, these can be made up in the form of a special study plan. In the case of a first professional degree with only 180 ECTS, an additional 2 years of relevant professional practice after obtaining the degree must be proven. Applicants with a final grade of 2.5 or better are admitted directly. Otherwise, an aptitude test is carried out by a commission.

What career prospects do I have after completing my studies?

The foundation for career advancement is a solid degree and continuous further education. Especially today, the tasks in a complex, networked and digitalised professional world can only be shaped by a holistic, interdisciplinary understanding of value and process chains. This increasingly requires all-rounders with a broad, interdisciplinary overall understanding. These are precisely the skills you will acquire with the Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Management, opening up excellent career opportunities. Furthermore, with the Master's degree you can start a career in higher service. In addition, the successful degree qualifies you to start a doctoral programme in the fields of engineering and economics.

The occupations and fields of activity of Master's graduates in industrial engineering can be found in a wide variety of functional areas of a company. They take on management and coordination tasks primarily in economic-technical integration areas. This can be, for example:

Production management
Responsibility for cross-departmental business processes
Planning and coordination of complex processes
Product management
Technical sales in a national and international environment
Management of innovation processes
Management of a profit centre
Implementation of Industry 4.0
