The international Master’s degree programme in "Global Engineering and Management" welcomes both German and international students. The programme is designed as an interdisciplinary programme. The modules cover the entire value chain – from procurement through research & development, production to sales & marketing. A particular focus is dedicated to "digitalisation" and innovation.
Digitalisation of products, processes and connectivity via the "Internet of Things" present major future opportunities and challenges for companies. Products continuously record data, process and/or share them with operators or connected devices. "Industry 4.0" comprises intelligently networked factories and innovative logistics solutions, among other things. In the retail sector, mobile payment, shopping apps and augmented reality are becoming commonplace. In addition, products and services in many industries involve significant software development. Additionally, digital transformation does not only affect products and processes, but it also impacts a company’s business model.
The programme is based on three pillars:
- It explores "digital business and technologies" in modules such as Software Engineering, Digital Factory & Digital Engineering, Modern Manufacturing Technologies, and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence
- Secondly, it provides key management skills, e.g. in International Management, Management Accounting, Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship, and Cost Engineering & International Supply-Chain-Management.
- Thirdly, the programme has an international focus: Study language is English. The students are from all parts of the world. Students are trained to implement concepts globally and manage international teams and projects.
Finally, students are encouraged to learn German to have enhanced access to the German job market (high demand for qualified graduates exists!) Students will be provided with online language courses during the duration of their study enabling them to reach German A2 level or higher.
