Introduction
With an MSc in Engineering - Operations Management you will know how production technologies and supply chain management are used to develop the future's sustainable manufacturing companies. You will be able to lead and carry out technically complex development projects and design targeted production and supply chain solutions which utilise global conditions to create competitive advantages. At the same time you can transfer your knowledge to hospitals, regions and other places where people work with equipment on a 'production'.
As an Operation Management engineer you learn to carry out and lead complex development projects at a strategic, tactical and operational level. You be able to have an overview of a situation and be able to implement solutions which optimally combine process technologies, production and supply chain solutions within a complex and turbulent market environment.
You will be qualified to:
- use your market and product knowledge to design targeted supply chain solutions which utilise global conditions
- develop and implement new principles and systems of production
- develop global high technology production companies with focus on operations management and logistics
You will also learn to transfer your knowledge of production, operations management and supply chain to other industries and professional contexts. This can be for example to a hospital, an institution or other places where people work with technology.
The programme takes place in close collaboration with Danish companies as well as working with research within the field of production and supply chain so your training enables you to be responsible for innovation and growth in Danish companies.
Project and research based learning environment
You will be part of a study-based and collaborative learning environment where you work in project groups. You and your fellow students are responsible for planning and carrying out projects within the allotted time. Projects typically come from companies and we emphasise the importance of solving problems from 'real life'.
With a degree in OM you become an idea and product developer with comprehensive engineering knowledge and business acumen. The master programme provides you with a general knowledge of the product and process development and incorporates technical and natural science courses in economics, marketing, design and global supply chain networks.
Curriculum
The Masters programme covers two years of studies.
The structure of the program has been tailored to provide a high-quality education that aligns with the current and future needs in industry.
The master's program has been enhanced, particularly in the areas of Digitalization (IIOT, Cloud Computing, and AI) and sustainability, as well as business development, since both Danish and International companies are seeking engineers with these competences. At the same time, we maintain your options to work in both production and supply chain management.
