Increasing globalization, the increased use of information and communication technologies as well as the rapid progress of technical developments mean that the demand for qualified specialists with high simultaneous competence in engineering, law and economics in science and practice is increasing equally. The Bayreuth master's degree in industrial engineering provides an adequate training profile for these requirements.
Profile of the master’s program
The master’s degree in industrial engineering provides students with a scientifically sound, advanced education with business, engineering and law content. This enables you to carry out strategically oriented activities at the interface between technical and commercial company areas as well as to take on management functions. By choosing their specialization and specialization areas accordingly, students can purposefully increase their expertise in certain professional fields.
About half of the course consists of engineering subjects. A special focus is on automotive technology (e.g. electromobility, engine construction, sensors and sensor systems). In the field of economics, students set their own priorities in areas of their own choosing (e.g. financing, management, marketing). Another specialty of Bayreuth is the wide range of legal courses (e.g. patent law, tax law, consumer law) that rounds off the training. A high level of practical relevance and important contacts to industry (e.g. via the RW alumni network) prepare you for starting your career.
Career prospects
With the completion of the master’s degree in industrial engineering, graduates acquire a highly qualified degree with which they can start (again) into professional life directly, but which also opens up the possibility of a doctorate.
Industrial engineers work in a wide variety of areas in the private sector, public administration and science. Her fields of activity range from research to planning, logistics, marketing and sales, accounting, data processing and tasks in middle and higher management.
