Profile

Industrial Management

In this profile, the overall economic understanding for the management of mechanical or electrical engineering tasks is deepened. The focus is on courses from the module catalog of economics. In the field of engineering, students can choose between the specialization in production technology (modules in mechanical engineering) and energy management (modules in electrical engineering). Building on the knowledge and skills acquired in the bachelor's program, students can expand and deepen their knowledge so that technical expertise and social skills enable them to assume a management position. To support this development, the traditional teaching/learning forms in the master's program are often replaced by or supplemented with case-based work in teams.

Potential career paths range from management accounting (e.g., at energy utilities) to corporate innovation management (e.g., in the automotive industry) and (technical) sales. You can take on more business-oriented roles in marketing, consulting, and human resources, or pursue a career in engineering that requires a solid foundation in business knowledge.

You can find the required and elective courses in the Master’s in Industrial Engineering module handbook published by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The modules offered by the Department of Economics can be found in the Department of Economics module handbook.
