Career prospects Engineering and Management

Company: Leancom
Role: CEO

«The WING degree at the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland was the best thing that could have happened to me and was an incredibly important milestone in  my professional development. As a result of developing a wide range of skills, it was possible to explore new avenues that I was hitherto unaware of.

Today, I work with customers, employees and partners to make things a little bit betterevery day. These huge challenges always require something new from me – but give me immense joy. Without the degree, I would not have the entrepreneurial freedoms that I enjoy today. My advice to you: try it! Not just the degree programme – have the courage to do something amazing with your life, too!»

Role: Business analyst and project manager

«The world of technology and our society are in  constant flux  and as a result, the job market requires a variety of skills. People with broad skills are particularly sought after – specialists with an eye for the big picture.

In my work as a business analyst and project manager, I can design software products and actively propel projects forward. Juggling these activities is exciting and challenging at the same time.

The WING degree at the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland gave me the tools required for successfully leading an interdisciplinary team and creating innovative solutions. I therefore recommend the degree programme to anyone who would like to build bridges between the fields of economy and technology.»

Company: Tesla
Role: Store Manager

«The degree programme in industrial engineering helped me view  problems from different perspectives so that I do not lose sight of the bigger picture. As a result of taking the "product management" specialisation, I have acquired a very customer-oriented mindset, which has really helped me in my career progression so far.

Today, I work at one of the most innovative companies in the world whose goal is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future. The range of products on offer includes photovoltaic systems, storage batteries  and electric sports cars. As store manager at Tesla, I lead a team of sales advisers and product specialists and am responsible for sales promotion measures that make a contribution towards developing the business.»
