Degree Conferred Master of Science (M.Sc.) Duration 3 Semesters / berufsintegrierte Verlaufsvariante: 5 Semesters Enrollment Winter and summer semester Admission restriction No restricted admission Entry requirements Relevant Bachelor's degree or in the case of a still missing degree at least 150 CP for 6-semester degrees respectively 180 CP for 7-semester degrees. The final Bachelor's degree must then be submitted by June 15th or December 15th at the latest.

An average grade of at least 3.0 calculated from the examination results.

Proof of professional competence through at least:
10 CP in the competence area of Mathematics und Statistics
5 CP in the competence area of Computer Science
50 CP in the competence areas of engineering sciences and integration and soft skills, including at least 10 CP in the area of Engineering Mechanics, 10 CP in the area of Design Engineering and 10 CP corresponding to the selected profile

Objectives

The interdisciplinary study programme complements the content of previous Bachelor's degree programmes.

The Master's degree programme Industrial Engineering Production, Logistics, Products focuses on in its

profiles

  •   Production and Logistics
  •   Sustainable mobility
  •   Resource-efficient products

two key specialist functions of industrial companies that are interlinked in a variety of ways. The combinations of production and logistics, sustainable mobility and resource-efficient products document the interaction of technical and organisational tasks in the respective field with economic aspects.

Graduates are able to apply their scientific knowledge to practical problems, particularly for solutions at the interface of engineering and economics.

The acquisition and further development of competences ensures that graduates can apply scientific methods in the context of industrial engineering or generate new knowledge using scientific methods. Thus, the quality of the Master's degree programme clearly exceeds that of the Bachelor's degree programme. Graduates are qualified to carry out scientific work and act responsibly in their professional activities and in society.

Career Perspectives

On the one hand, attractive jobs are available to graduates in executive and self-employed positions in the investment and consumer goods industry, in the areas of applications, services, logistics and technical sales as well as in the field of research. On the other hand, corresponding jobs are possible in science, education and the public sector.

Production and logistics: Production and logistics are two inextricably linked elements in every company that are crucial to the smooth running of business processes and the fulfilment of customer requirements. In today's globalised economy, an effective production and logistics strategy is essential to remaining competitive. Companies must manufacture high-quality products, deliver them to their customers quickly and reliably, in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner, while reducing waste, conserving resources and increasing efficiency.

Sustainable mobility: Mobility and accessibility are key requirements for participation, economic exchange, employment and prosperity. Sustainable mobility aims to protect booth people and the environment. The primary goal is not to prevent traffic, but rather to shorten transport routes by changing settlement and production structures or to increase vehicle utilisation. The aim is therefore to achieve increased mobility while reducing the volume of traffic.

Resource-efficient products: The design of products under ecological and economic aspects with the premise of sustainable and efficient use of resources is at the center of consideration here. Sensitizing all participants to develop products that are geared towards technical progress, manufactured responsibly and in a resource-saving manner, that have a long product life and are recyclable at the end of their life cycle is seen as a task.

Due to their interdisciplinary qualification, industrial engineers are predestined to tackle these challenges with an integrated, holistic approach and to solve them as part of a team.

Competencies and Interests Required

Good knowledge of mathematics and general mechanical engineering as well as the basic subjects of economics. Interest in computer science and technical subjects, good communication and organisational skills, interest in thinking in systems, networks and control loops, in complex problem solving, in working in interdisciplinary teams and in taking on management tasks.
