Industrial Engineering Digitalisation (M. Sc.)

How can you successfully implement digital transformation in organisations?

Digitalisation is fundamentally transforming value creation, products and ways of working – and requires leaders who can confidently combine technology and management. The Master’s programme in Industrial Engineering: Digitalisation is specifically designed to prepare you for this. You will learn to apply digital methods and tools in product development and production planning, to automate processes, to utilise data strategically and to develop new business models.

Through a combination of fundamental engineering principles, strategic management and application-oriented digitalisation, you will acquire a highly sought-after skill set for industry, SMEs and technology-driven companies. The programme focuses on topics such as Industry 4.0, digital marketing and AI-supported processes.

The part-time programme enables a close integration of study and practical experience and qualifies you for roles of responsibility in digitalisation projects, production, logistics and management. With this Master’s degree, you will take on a role in which you actively shape digitalisation.
