Curriculum
Master's Programme in Industrial Management provides students with capabilities to work in tasks that require high level of business or technological knowledge. These can be for example in production, service or knowledge sectors. Both local business networks and international connections, e.g. ESTIEM (European Students of Industrial Engineering and Management) are utilised in teaching. Students can choose to concentrate either in the area of technology management and product development or in the area of production management and logistics. The variety of teaching methods is used in advanced courses in IM. Often students plan and conduct small research projects combining both a theoretical framework and an empirical study in firms. The IM studies focus on problem-solving and social interaction coupled with a wide variety of study tasks by systematic assessment. The study process encompasses both local business operations and technological advantages on a global scale. The outcome is a skill set that allows the student to solve problems on product development, production, energy production and environmental issues in a networked industry setting. The focus can lie on strategy, productivity, impact, quality, etc. Special emphasis is on students’ communication capabilities, both written and oral. The objective of course seminars, business and case competitions and thesis seminars is that giving presentations is a routine that each student can handle smoothly. All the master level courses are in English.
