interdisciplinary
They understand and solve problems cooperatively and with an interdisciplinary approach.

The Master's in Engineering and Management builds on the technical and practical knowledge of your Bachelor's programme and expands on the competences you have already acquired. The Master's degree programme qualifies you to work at the interface between business and engineering and to improve products, processes and company structures in a sustainable way.
As part of the study programme, you will learn to understand the relationship between technology, business, society and the environment and find out what role you can play as a business engineer. Thanks to extensive internships in our laboratories, the degree programme is also very related to practice.
At the end of your university studies, you will be able to understand and solve problems cooperatively and with an interdisciplinary approach as a business engineer.
This Master's programme is aimed at students who have obtained a Bachelor's degree in a technical and/or business subject. The main target groups are students of the Bachelor's degree in Engineering and Management (all specialisations) at Fulda University of Applied Sciences and other universities and colleges. The Master's degree is a continuation of the university's Bachelor's degree in Engineering and Management.
As a business engineer, you should be interested in getting to the bottom of things, dealing with new techniques, methods and procedures and qualifying yourself further.
Thanks to your business and technical interface expertise, you are predestined for management tasks, but also for working on research tasks. The Master's degree programme will enable you to carry out engineering work that is responsible for people and the environment. Nothing will stand in the way of your future career.
The Master's programme in Engineering and Management (MWI) has an applied focus. The high proportion of project-based learning in individual and group work requires and supports teamwork and communication skills as well as independence, creativity, openness and plurality in addition to your professional qualifications. You will acquire the ability to quickly familiarise yourself methodically and systematically with new fields of technology and science.
The standard duration of studies for the Master's programme is three semesters and comprises 90 ECTS credits. Compulsory modules are supplemented by offers from the compulsory elective area. The latter can also be chosen from other departments, allowing for individual specialisation.
Individual options for shaping the curriculum also arise in the selection of projects. These are closely based on current issues from industry and are mainly developed in the university's own laboratories. Together with the Master's thesis, project work totalling 40 ECTS credits can be specifically designed as part of the offer.
First degree qualifying for entry into a profession with 210 ECTS credits or a standard period of study of at least 7 semesters in Engineering and Management, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Business Sciences or a related discipline. Applicants with degrees of less than 210 ECTS credits must complete the points missing from the 210 ECTS credits by completing modules from the Bachelor's study programmes in the Department of Electrical Engineering. The degree must be assessed with an average grade of 2.5 or better. In the case of a lower degree, an application for admission to university studies may be made on the basis of evidence of very good specialist knowledge in the field of Engineering and Management. Decisions are made by the Examination Board.
The applicant must have sufficient German language skills corresponding to at least DSH 2 level.

Business engineers are currently among the most sought-after specialists on the labour market. As mediators between technology and business administration, they can be employed in almost all industries, whether regional, national or international. Career opportunities are particularly good in interface areas such as project planning, technical purchasing, production control, quality management, controlling, sales and marketing, as they rely on technical and business knowledge and interdisciplinary competences.

The study programme is an offer of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Find out more about your new environment, teaching, laboratories and your future professors on the department's website.
