Depending on the specialisation in technology, the Master's programme in Management & Technology can be studied up to 100% in English. Currently, Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Sustainable Energies are completely feasible in English.
Decision makers with a high level of responsibility regularly face challenges that reach beyond strictly managerial issues. Having knowledge of how technical development and production processes are designed enables managers to assess the situation and make sound decisions accordingly. Furthermore, the strict separation of different departments within a company is dissolving. A solid understanding of how your colleagues in distinctive fields work and think will be key to successful leadership and performance on the job. The programme's unique combination empowers you to drive innovation and perform tasks at the interface of management and technology - and thus prepares you for your future professional life.
Whether you want to follow your passion for science and technology while fostering your career in management or top your business studies with education in technology or the natural sciences, the Master's programme in Management & Technology is the right choice.
The programme is designed to meet you at your current academic stage. Regardless of whether you already have an interdisciplinary background gained through a degree combining management and technology or if you are rooted in pure management studies, you will be equally prepared to reach the same goal: to become a skilled business leader with a profound understanding of technical knowledge.
Structure:
The core of the programme lies within the two areas of management and technology. Both include different specialisation options to choose from. At the beginning of your studies, you select one out of seven specialisations currently offered in the management area. The same goes for the area of technology: depending on your previously gained knowledge, you can choose from six different specialisation options. Students with an existing technical understanding from their acquired Bachelor's degree can deepen their knowledge in this area (major). However, if you don't have any previous knowledge in engineering and/or natural sciences, the programme allows you to gain basic skills in your selected engineering and/or natural sciences option (minor).
In the area of management, you can specialise in:
Specialisations in technology are:
The individualisation does not stop here. Besides your individually selected core modules in the areas of management and technology, you have additional electives that allow you to shape your personal profile even further. In your fourth semester, you will write your Master's thesis.
