Industrial Engineering – four semesters (Master of Science)

The Master's programme in Industrial Engineering and Management at h_da is aimed at students with a Bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics or mechanical engineering. It offers both the theoretical and practical foundation, expansion and consolidation of economic and engineering knowledge. The cooperation between the three departments of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Plastics Technology, and Business Administration guarantees that students can develop new fields of knowledge beyond their Bachelor's degree. The methodically designed study program provides specific qualifications that prepare students for management tasks in companies and organizations in professional practice. More detailed information about the study programme can be found on the website of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology.

Industrial engineers are mainly employed at the interfaces between technology and management. Due to the diverse course contents, a multitude of professional perspectives open up. Graduates can choose between a direct career entry, starting their own business or a scientific career. The multiple qualification enables them to take on leading positions in business and science.

After a Master's degree, there is the possibility of a doctorate. The central contact point is the Graduate School.

The admission requirement for the three-semester Master's programme in Industrial Engineering and Management is a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management with at least 210 CP. Bachelor's graduates in a technical or technical-economical field, such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics or energy management, require at least 180 CP for the four-semester Master's programme in Industrial Engineering and Management. Further requirements for admission to the Master's programme are a sound knowledge of German and English as well as good verbal and written communication skills. A detailed description of the admission requirements can be found in the Special Provisions of the Examination Regulations (German).
