Structure

A unique feature of this graduate study program is the outstanding combination of the engineering perspective and the management perspective on an equal footing. Engineering aspects will be combined and intertwined with management skills in order to provide the students with a sustainable and holistic portfolio of competencies. This refers to the fact that evidently a product must be developed and produced before it can be sold and eventually delivered.

The other unique feature of this study program is its blended learning approach. Different forms and types of learning “technologies” are combined. Lectures provide the students with basic knowledge and create motivation. Case studies deepen the understanding and know-how independently and according to individual needs and interests. Seminars lead students towards working on subjects on their own using literature and train presentation skills. Project workshops train students to solve tasks in teams and prepare for working eventually on the project of the master thesis.

Among others, courses offered within this program cover Strategic & Innovation Management for Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Production Systems Design, Management of Logistics Service Providers, Business Continuity Management, Project Management, Ethics & Sustainable Business. Other courses focus on Modelling & Simulation, on legal aspects, on Communication & Presentation Skills, Leading Teams, and Groups, or Intercultural Competence & Management for Leaders in Business. A strong focus lies on the integration of practical hands-on experiences in courses (Guided Industrial Project) and beyond (a recommended internship during summer break).
