Students who already have an engineering, technical or technical/natural science degree and at least two years of professional experience will receive entirely new prospects with this second degree. Industrial engineers are being sought after in industry and management – acting as an interface between technology and business administration as well as between technology and science. The distance learning course alongside a career sets new directions in just five semesters. Key areas are Industrial Engineering, Management and Business Informatics. This modular structure with nine compulsory modules and one specialisation area from a choice of three optional required modules ensures targeted specialisation with a high degree of flexibility. A low level of attendance, supervised e-learning, project work and modules on self-management and communication management ensure that graduates can also compete among the upper ranks internationally.
