The Master's curriculum in industrial management prepares students to take on management responsibility in middle management in private industry, the service sector or public administrations. The Master's study programme has an individually selectable course of training in selected areas of business management, engineering and science and the media sciences to offer students a flexible training strategy with a whole range of opportunities for meeting the demands of globalisation in the labour world and the international interlinking of companies.

The objectives of study are training engineering and business management experts and providing theoretical instruction with an extensively hands-on approach to make them sufficiently capable of applying engineering and management techniques both in small and medium-sized businesses and in industrial heavyweights while working creatively in a team and being active on an intercultural scale with a knowledge of foreign languages.

Graduates of the industrial management curriculum will be given the skills they need to take on technical and management assignments in the private economy and administration. Industrial heavyweights offer career opportunities in specific functional areas while work is generally interdisciplinary in small and medium-sized businesses.
