Industrial Engineering and International Management (MSc)

The Master's programme in Industrial Engineering and International Management at Hochschule Fresenius equips students with a comprehensive understanding of both engineering principles and international business management. Spanning over four semesters, the curriculum is designed to integrate practical skills with theoretical knowledge, preparing graduates for diverse career paths in a globalized economy.

Students engage in a variety of modules that cover topics such as supply chain management, operations management, and international finance, alongside core engineering disciplines. Each semester consists of structured coursework that leads to the accumulation of ECTS credits, culminating in a significant thesis project that reflects the students' mastery of the subject matter. Additionally, as a university of applied sciences, Hochschule Fresenius emphasizes hands-on experience, incorporating a practical or internship semester where students can apply their learning in real-world contexts.

The skills gained through this programme include problem-solving in engineering systems, strategic thinking in a business context, and the ability to operate effectively in multicultural environments. This makes the programme an ideal fit for individuals who aspire to bridge the gap between engineering and management, particularly in industries that demand interdisciplinary expertise.

Given the German context, students benefit from robust connections with the Mittelstand—the backbone of the German economy—and industry partners. Graduates also have the opportunity to remain in Germany for up to 18 months after completing their studies to seek employment, which can be invaluable in establishing a professional network. Additionally, the programme allows for flexibility, enabling students to work while studying to gain relevant experience.
