- Description/content
- Innovation and technology are key drivers of competitive advantage in today's knowledge economy. Digital technologies and the Internet of Things have launched a new industrial revolution: the digitalisation of processes along the value chains of the manufacturing and service industry. The study programme is conducted by professional experts who analyse current innovation trends and future business opportunities. Building on their qualifications, they suggest decisions on innovations for management.
Graduates of this study programme provide support for the systematic implementation of innovation processes by considering managerial and technical aspects. They link solutions for automation and digitalisation with the underlying business processes.
The study programme combines engineering, IT and business competences in a methodically sound manner. A core aspect is an applied scientific approach to recent and emerging trends in digitalisation that affect technological, manufacturing, and organisational patterns. Students will be empowered to plan, implement, and advocate their projects and solutions as well as to take management responsibilities.
The Master's degree also gives graduates of the programme the possibility to pursue a doctoral and academic career path.
