Of course, topics such as social media, ecommerce, artificial intelligence, digital processes and sustainability also play a decisive role in all specialist areas.

The Industrial Engineering course is ideal for students who want to work in a global environment and see themselves as all-rounders with technical and mathematical skills.If you also like to organize and you are interested in communicating and networking with people and departments in companies, the course is a perfect match for you.

In addition to the basics of industrial engineering, the program focus also includes the subject areas of international logistics, international technical purchasing and sales, international project management, international private law and global standards, global production and sales network management. (Attached find an overview of all modules taught within the three years program).
