Specialisations

In the third year, you can choose one of three specialisations in order to specifically tailor your degree programme to a particular professional field.

Supply Chain & Production Management

Supply chain management considers the entire value-added network from raw material supplier to end consumer, regardless of national and company borders. You will get to know the tasks of the elements of the supply chain and will be trained to become professionals for planning and building supply chains. A major focus of the deepening is on the linchpin of supply chains, production. Graduates have the skills to manage, plan and control production and to design entire production processes using digital technologies.

Product Management

This specialisation focuses on the tasks carried out throughout the different phases of a product in its life cycle, i.e. from the idea and development, market introduction and establishment through to internationalisation and replacement by the subsequent product. It shows the interactions and dependencies between one's own operational skills and resources, market and customer requirements and innovative technologies.

Digital Engineering

This specialisation focuses on the vital tasks and skills involved in developing and implementing an entrepreneurial digital transformation.
"The course is very broadly based. In addition to modules in project management, technology, business administration and natural sciences, we also learned a lot about logistics, IT, marketing and systems thinking. We also attended individual interdisciplinary modules in the humanities and social sciences. The highlight of interdisciplinarity for me was working in the “Project Oriented Learning Environment”. In the course of the POLE project, we learned to discuss ideas, concepts and methods with students from different fields of study and countries and to develop a joint solution."
