Get to know the MBA&E programme
Germany is one of the key hotspots of the automotive sector around the globe. The industry is changing constantly and has many new challenges to master. Thus, there is a strong demand for young business engineering graduates on the job market in Germany. In addition, the car industry is expected to grow rapidly in the so-called emerging countries, granting our international graduates a great advantage in employment in their home countries. The MBA&E is one of the few English-speaking industrial management programmes in Germany with a special focus on Automotive Management. For years, many of our graduates have developed careers with automotive players, and we maintain very close relationships with the industry. Following the demand, in 2013, we launched a new specialisation addressing the specific needs of the automotive OEM and supplier sectors. For further information, please use the adjacent form to contact us.
Multifaceted and interdisciplinary
The weighting of the course content of the MBA&E establishes a dual focus on topics drawn equally from business administration and technological subjects. Graduates from this course are equipped not only with exceptional specialist skills but also develop an analytical mindset applicable to a variety of industries and business functions. We seek to train every MBA&E graduate to become a robust, interdisciplinary problem solver – professional, creative and collaborative. Five specialisation options give the students the flexibility to take their careers in the desired direction:
- Automotive Management
- Interdisciplinary Management
- Industrial Operations and Supply Networks
- Smart Business Models and Production Systems - NEW in 2025!
- Global Procurement
- Global Leadership in Engineering
Close to business practice
As a postgraduate programme of study, the course accepts applications from students with backgrounds in engineering, management, and more. As a young professional, you already possess the in-depth skills specific to your discipline. By taking the MBA&E, you will develop a holistic understanding of the wider business process. MBA&E graduates are "gap-bridgers" – specialists in their respective functions yet fully conversant with mainstream results-oriented management practices. Global companies need such "T-shaped people" - would you like to become one?
