Career prospects

Managers think and make decisions in an interdisciplinary and cross-functional way. No one needs to explain to technicians what products or solutions are all about. It is precisely this combination that defines the tasks of industrial engineers in almost all industries. On the job, this can mean taking on responsibility for personnel in projects and helping to decide on operational processes. They are the point of contact for economic, legal and technical issues at demanding interfaces.
For particularly successful graduates, the Master's degree also opens up the opportunity to enter the higher civil service and take up a doctorate.
