Facing a Changing World
"After working in the automotive industry for a few years, I realized that I needed to supplement my engineering knowledge with new management skills and tools. The NIT MBA program in Technology Management has helped me achieve that goal. I am now more prepared to face a constantly changing world.
Luis Eduardo Colonnier Sánchez, Mexico, NIT Class '19
Flexible studies – alongside your doctorate or career!
The Technology Management program is organized in modules in classroom and group phases as well as online learning.
Classroom work takes place almost exclusively in the off-peak hours – on Friday evenings and weekends. Thus, you can complete your studies part-time alongside work commitments, working on a thesis, or individual obligations.
Studies with 90 or 120 ECTS – It's up to you!
You decide whether you complete our Master's program with 90 or 120 ECTS. Depending on your previous studies and your personal goals and requirements, you can choose the total scope and speed of your Master's studies yourself.
For a Master's degree with 120 ECTS, you will participate in additional modules (complementary modules) and thus collect additional credit points. The 120 ECTS study option is particularly attractive for foreign students who wish to apply for a student visa for Germany.
