The Master of Industrial Engineering works at the interface of business and engineering and is therefore characterized by a highly interdisciplinary orientation. The objective of this study program is to provide a deepening education in both economic and engineering sciences, and to allow a high degree of specialization based on individual interests. The student will be able to recognize and solve interdisciplinary problems thanks, in part, to the required internship of at least 4 weeks. After finishing the master program, graduates are able to grasp the interdependencies of technical and economic issues and solve problems at the interface of science, economy, and technology.
Graduates with a Master of Industrial Engineering can work in a wide range of industries, particularly in fields at the interface between economics and technology. Managing functions are possible as well as activities in the consumer goods industry, the service sector, and trading companies. Often business engineers have inter-departmental positions in the fields of Logistics, Marketing, Materials management, Accounting, Controlling, or Product and Company management.
The program consists of core modules, electives, and a master thesis. The workload comprises 120 credit points. Every semester 30 credit points are awarded.
The mandatory core modules (25 credit points) teach fundamental methods and scientific principles and guide the student to a Master thesis via a compulsory research seminar. Furthermore, the student has to complete an internship in corporate practice of at least weeks.
The elective modules (75 credit points) can be chosen from the majors of Engineering, Economics, and an additional supplemental major.
The program is completed in the 4th semester with the master thesis (20 credit points).
