Industrial Engineering & Business

About this programme

The master’s program for industrial engineers with international training focuses on breadth. Students study mechanical engineering and materials science as well as business administration, financing and management. The aim is to keep a finger on the pulse of digitalization and digitized industry, and to initiate entrepreneurial innovation processes. Graduates are prepared to take on management functions. Due to their interdisciplinary education, industrial engineers have a wide range of fields of application. The largest field of activity is in industry, but there is also a significant demand for internationally oriented and economically trained engineers with high networking skills in trade and the service sector. Accordingly, the prospects for graduates of the International Industrial Engineering and Management program are good. Master’s degree programs build on a completed bachelor’s degree program and allow students to specialize or focus on topics in more detail or to expand their existing expertise. You must meet subject-matter requirements to be admitted to the Industrial Engineering & Business master’s degree program. Prerequisites include a bachelor’s degree from a UAS in a relevant subject matter or an equivalent degree from a recognized post-secondary educational institution (at least 180 ECTS credits) in Austria or another country. If basic equivalence has been established except for a few missing prerequisites, the program director can require students to take exams to establish full equivalence. These exams are taken during the master’s program.
