The international Master’s degree programme in “Engineering and Management” is fully taught in English, and it welcomes both German and international students. The programme is conceived as an interdisciplinary programme. The modules cover the entire value chain – including procurement, research, development, production, sales and marketing. A particular focus is put on innovation and topics around digitisation.
Digitisation of products, processes and connectivity via the "Internet of things" present major future opportunities and challenges for companies. In many industries, products and services involve significant software development. Products continuously record data, process it and/or share it with operators or connected devices. "Industry 4.0" comprises intelligently networked factories and innovative logistic solutions, among others. In retail, mobile payment, shopping apps, and augmented reality are becoming commonplace. Digital transformation often does not only affect products and processes but also the company business model.
Graduates of this programme are well-positioned to cope with these and other technology-driven challenges. In addition, they are trained to view and implement concepts globally and manage international teams and projects.
Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt does not cooperate with recruitment agencies. Applicants will have to apply on their own. Apart from the uni-assist fee, there is no application fee.

Ingolstadt lies in the centre of Bavaria, one of the most prosperous German federal states, and it is only an hour by car from the metropolitan areas of Munich and Nuremberg. The opportunities to take part in leisure activities in the area – which is close to the Alps as well as to the beautiful Altmühl valley – are unlimited. With the headquarters of Audi (the international automotive company) and a large number of innovative corporations in the city, Ingolstadt is proud to be one of the strongest economic regions in Germany. Opportunities to participate in sports activities are provided by the university as well as by various amateur and competitive sports clubs.
