Industrial Engineering and Management
All-rounder - that's the right description for industrial engineers, as their wide-ranging scientific, engineering and business training means they can be deployed in almost all areas. They are expected to work at the interfaces, understand specialists in the various disciplines and build bridges between the individual areas. This means that they are not only required to have engineering expertise, but also economic understanding and the ability to quickly familiarise themselves with new areas.
The interdisciplinary diploma degree programme teaches knowledge and subject-specific methods for dealing with and solving scientific, technical and economic problems, enabling students to make the transition into the professional world. The degree programme comprises four semesters of foundation studies and six semesters of advanced studies. In the foundation course, students from all degree programmes learn the basics of mathematics, natural sciences, engineering and economics. In the 3rd semester, students decide on one of the six specialisations. In the main study programme, specific knowledge of the specialisations is taught alongside the economics modules. The acquired knowledge is applied in the 7th semester in the specialised internship. This involves working on a typical professional task, which is completed scientifically with the production of a large document. The degree programme ends with the completion of the diploma thesis in the 10th semester.
