Your Master's degree program is blended learning with classroom sessions and self-study phases. The NORDAKADEMIE provides you with all learning materials online and offline and also supervises you personally.
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.

Admission requirements
The prerequisite for admission to the Master's program in "Engineering & Management" at the NORDAKADEMIE is a degree from a German or foreign university that is recognized in Germany. You are required to have the following qualifications:
- University degree (B. Sc. or diploma) in engineering & management or comparable courses of study
- At least 30 credits from the field of economic sciences
- At least 42 credits from the engineering field
A total of 300 credits are required for the master's degree, including doctoral eligibility. Since the master's program comprises only 90 credits, applicants with fewer than 210 credits from their first degree must make up the missing credits before graduating with a master's degree. In this case, admission is granted on the condition that the missing credits are made up before graduation from the master's program.
Also a C1 level in German is required to study at NORDAKADEMIE.
Missing credit points
Since the Master's programs at NORDAKADEMIE comprise a total of 90 credits, if you have a Bachelor's degree with 180 credits, you still have to make up 30 credits by the time you graduate. You can do so before, during or after the standard period of study in the Master.
You can acquire missing credit points at the NORDAKADEMIE through
- up to two term papers with 10 credit points each
- successful completion of continuing education modules of 5 credit points each
- successful completion of a certificate course for 30 credits each
Term papers
You propose the topics for the assignments yourself and agree them with the examiner by submitting an exposé. Topics for which you already have prior knowledge, e.g. from professional practice or from continuing education modules, are suitable. You can begin with a term paper even before the start of the actual Master's program.
Important: Prerequisite is admission to the Master's program and payment of the first tuition fee. After receipt of payment, you will receive your access data and can register the term paper via the internal campus information system. For information on additional fees, please refer to the current fee schedule. It is due upon confirmation of the topic.
Further education modules
After admission to the Master's program or after payment of the first tuition fee, you can also take continuing education modules. You can complete these - as well as the term papers - before starting the actual Master's program. Costs can be found in the current fee schedule. We will confirm successful participation with a certificate.
