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 for industrial engineers in their professional lives in almost all industries. On the job, this can mean taking on personnel responsibility in projects and having a say in operational processes. At demanding interfaces, they are the contact persons for economic, legal and technical questions.
For particularly successful graduates, the master's degree also opens up the possibility of joining the higher civil service and taking up a doctorate.
