This master's programme blends engineering and business administration while emphasising sustainable approaches and the latest digital technologies. Core topics include artificial intelligence, data science, collaborative robots and immersive technologies (augmented, virtual and mixed reality), all taught with a view to solving real-world industrial challenges.
Teaching is closely linked with industry: the programme works with successful regional "hidden champions" as well as global engineering firms, so coursework and projects focus strongly on practical application. This industry connection helps graduates move directly into professional roles and gain experience that employers value.
Offered in English, the degree prepares students for international careers and strengthens technical English communication. Graduates are positioned for a range of industrial engineering roles and benefit from the programme’s company partnerships when starting their careers.
Quick facts / requirements
This master's program requires applicants to hold a relevant bachelor's-level degree and to meet the programme's minimum grade standard. Degrees earned in Germany or abroad are considered, but must be judged equivalent to the required qualification in Industrial Engineering.
The stated grade threshold is an overall mark of 2.0 or better on the German grading scale (where 1.0 is highest and 4.0 is the pass mark). If you studied outside Germany, your degree and final grade will be evaluated for equivalence and converted to the German scale as part of the application assessment.
For exact details about what counts as an equivalent qualification, how grades are converted, and which supporting documents you should submit, consult the programme website or contact the admissions office—requirements and procedures can vary by applicant origin and institution.
