The Interface Between Business & Technology

Shape the Future of Manufacturing Companies

Industry 4.0 is Part of the Curriculum

The term Industry 4.0 describes the digitalisation and networking of industrial value chains. Cyber-physical systems play a central role here, as they merge the physical and digital domains. Actively shape the digitalisation of industry: effectively apply digital technologies and systems to optimise products and processes.

Four to six weeks before your first lecture, you will receive access to the first study materials. At the beginning of your studies, you will also receive your student ID card.

Consistent study groups enable you to have an intensive exchange and excellent cooperation. In the Master's project, you will also work together in interdisciplinary teams. All modules follow one another in time with subsequent examinations. This means that you only have to prepare for one exam at a time.

If, due to your personal or professional situation, it is not possible for you to complete your studies in the standard period of study, you can extend your study period by eight months free of charge.

Our recommendation: When comparing the tuition fees of private universities, you should always look out for "hidden" costs, e.g. for enrollment, exams or study time extensions. If providers do not disclose these fees or only inform you about them after you have been entered in a list of prospective students, you will often be charged above-average fees.

The master's degree in Industrial Engineering opens up outstanding development opportunities in companies. Graduates of this program are able to both prepare and implement entrepreneurial decisions but also to shape and make them. As a future manager, you are well prepared to do so with the constantly updated knowledge from the degree program - especially in globally operating companies, but also everywhere else in the economy.

Your broad interdisciplinary knowledge is a solid basis for viable, sustainably successful decisions at the interface of business and technology. You can prepare and implement these decisions, also shape them and make them yourself in a targeted manner. Thanks to the latest specialist knowledge, including on digital transformation, you will also be ready for Industry 4.0. This qualifies you as a highly demanded specialist and manager worldwide.
