Mechanical Engineering and Management, M.Sc.
Nowadays, engineers work not only as designers or as problem solvers in technical issues, but also fill management positions and have to make strategic and operative decisions. Therefore, engineers also need a basic understanding of management and business studies. Graduates, who already bring along both, specialized knowledge in engineering as well as basic understanding of business administration, have excellent prospects in the labor market.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
The international master study course “Mechanical Engineering and Management“ gives students with a bachelor´s degree in mechanical engineering or similar the opportunity to deepen their engineering knowledge in one of three technical specifications, Materials, Mechatronics, or Product Development and Production, and provides further knowledge in management and business administration. Graduates are well prepared for a future career in industry as technical and executive managers with budget and personnel responsibilities or could take up a career in research e.g. in a Ph.D. program.
What you study
The program is organized as a two-year course (four semesters) which starts on 1st October each year (in total 120 credit point [ECTS]). The course combines engineering and management disciplines. Students specialize by attending the Management specialization (mandatory, 18 credit points) and by selecting one engineering specialization:

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
