Overview
The traditional boundaries between organizational units and areas of responsibility in companies are becoming increasingly blurred, not least against the backdrop of digital change. Students of the English-taught Master's degree program in Management at the TUM Campus Heilbronn (M.Sc.) learn to apply integrated know-how at the interface of engineering or natural sciences and business administration as a competitive advantage in companies.
The program teaches the fundamentals of business administration, economics, and business law. On the basis of a Bachelor's degree in natural sciences, engineering, or life sciences, students deal with aspects of financing and accounting, innovation and entrepreneurship, economics and regulation, production and logistics, marketing, strategy, and personnel management. A particular focus is on the areas of management of family businesses and management of digital transformation.
Graduates of the program are able to recognize and shape the necessary organizational, structural, strategic, and operational changes in companies in all industries, especially in SMEs, and to develop new business areas. They are excellently trained to shape socio-economic transformations, increasing flexibilization, and growing dynamics in the work environment and are optimally qualified to act responsibly in leading business positions.
