MA/MS in Mechanical Engineering and Management

This part-time Master of Engineering is offered by Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences together with the Duale Hochschule Gera-Eisenach. It gives engineers advanced mechanical engineering knowledge alongside business and legal skills. The programme aims to build entrepreneurial thinking based on academic and practical knowledge, strengthen key business functions, prepare for international activity and raise awareness of sustainable management. Analytical and problem-solving abilities are developed throughout. Applicants with a technical degree need relevant work experience. Those with a non-technical degree need longer experience and must pass a written admission test in mathematics, technical mechanics and design. A placement at the student's employer can supply extra credits for first-degree graduates. Study is organised alongside a job, so participants can apply new knowledge directly in their current role.
