Master's in Management (Heilbronn)

100% management for engineers and natural scientists Management and engineering are increasingly interwoven. Companies no longer think in terms of traditional divisions. Instead, they are looking for individuals with a passion for management combined with outstanding technical skills. Our Master's programme in Management positions you at precisely this interface. We designed the programme in management for people with a first degree in engineering or the natural sciences who have a strong interest in management. Based on your background in engineering or natural sciences gained during your first degree, the programme enables you to develop your skills in management, law, economics, and business. Later, you will have the opportunity to select different electives that align with your personal interests. The programme has a strong focus on scientific approaches. Students will develop a sound understanding of management theories and research methods. Our teaching draws on the latest research and state-of-the-art industrial practice. In addition to lectures, we run regular tutorials and small-group seminars. You also have the option of spending a semester studying abroad. There are two areas of optional elective courses, offered exclusively at TUM Campus Heilbronn: Management of Family Businesses Management of Digital Transformation By taking elective courses in these areas, students get the chance to learn about how family-led companies operate and how they are managed against the backdrop of growing digitisation. The city of Heilbronn and the surrounding region, home to a large number of entrepreneurial firms and hidden champions, many of which are family-run businesses, offer the perfect environment in which to pursue these specialisations. In their first two semesters, students will acquire basic knowledge in Management (42 ECTS), Economics (6 ECTS), and Law (6 ECTS). Moreover, they will gain insights into the areas of Entrepreneurship and Strategic and International Management (6 ECTS). In their third semester, students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge by choosing electives, to do an Advanced Project Study, or even to study abroad (30 ECTS).
