Structure
The program comprises a total of four semesters, including three theory-oriented semesters, including a research and development project, as well as the master's semester, in which the master's thesis must be written and defended.
In the first semester, modules from the two basic profiles "Management" and "Natural and Technical Sciences" are taken based on prior knowledge or previous professional experience. The aim is to impart a solid overarching specialist knowledge, which then forms the starting point for specialization.
For in-depth specialization, the program is divided into specialization profiles from the second semester onwards. These reflect the research and teaching spectrum of the university and describe the characteristics of the Master's program in Industrial Management, which is designed as an interdisciplinary program. The following specialization profiles are available:
- Energy Management
- Sustainable real estate management
- Management and Marketing in Event Sports
- Project and Process Management
- Innovation and Business Expansion (English-language specialization in the double degree program)
- Business Management (specialization for students of Ingenium Education, Austria)
In addition to the modules of the specialization, further elective modules can be taken.
The technical focus of the third semester is a research project, which is worked on with a practice partner. This research project can also be the basis for the master's thesis to be written later. The scientific graduation takes place in the fourth semester with the preparation and defense of the master's thesis.
