Bridging Economics and Engineering
The industrial world never stands still. It is becoming more digital, more sustainable and more complex. If you want to help shape it, you need more than just business know-how or technical expertise. We need experts who combine both. The Master's degree programme in Industrial Management and Business Administration at the Technical University of Leoben prepares you for exactly that.
The programme focuses on the practical combination of business, technology and research at an international level and with a focus on today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. You will work on real problems, experience industry at first hand and develop solutions that work in practice.
What to expect from the study programme?
From day one, you are a dynamic interface between management and engineering. You will learn how companies think economically and how industrial processes are structured, optimised and controlled.
You will deal with key performance indicators, develop well thought-out processes and make decisions, always with the aim of increasing efficiency, driving innovation and creating sustainable solutions. As courses are taught in English, you will be working in an international environment right from the start. Exchange programmes connect you with students from all over the world, which not only opens up new perspectives, but also creates a valuable intercultural dialogue.
And while others are still learning theory, you may already be in the middle of an industrial project and working on real solutions.
What are your career opportunities?
