Master in Mechanical Engineering, Management

What you study

This Master's programme combines mechanical engineering with management. The register description says graduates gain theoretical foundation knowledge and subject-specific skills, along with problem-solving ability and economic and social competence. That means you learn to judge how resources are used in processes, plan and coordinate the introduction of technologies, lead teams, and pick up new specialist areas quickly. You also learn to present and defend ideas and results, and to assess technical developments by their social, economic and ecological effects. The keywords for the programme are Maschinenbau and Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen, so expect engineering content with a business and management angle.
