The students acquire business management skills in order to be able to successfully deal with future requirements of an already practiced engineering job and to be able to enter new business fields of activity. In addition to know-how about flexible manufacturing techniques and the Internet of Things, they acquire knowledge about big data and digital business models. This interdisciplinary and practice-oriented know-how enables the graduates to take up a key position in the economy.

Thus, the students qualify to successfully lead and manage projects related to digital transformation in companies.

The aim of the course is to train graduates who are able to combine their existing specialist skills with knowledge from the engineering sciences. They are able to analyze and design operational tasks and solve them with the help of current scientific knowledge.

The target group of the course includes graduates with a first professional university degree in the field of engineering and at least one year of practical experience. Professional experience and degrees that match the course content can be recognized and thus the study period can be shortened. The content builds on the professional experience of the students and provides new impetus.
