Industrial Engineering & Management - Master's degree
Industry 4.0, innovation management and corporate governance
It is important for managers to have the best training not only on the economic side, but also on the technical side - this applies in many areas of the increasingly complex professional world. Only those who are well acquainted with the professional requirements of their industry can also achieve entrepreneurial success. The master's degree program "Industrial Engineering & Management" (IEM) focuses on both. The training focuses on the topics Industry 4.0, Innovation Management and Corporate Management.
Interdisciplinary Master Program
The practice-oriented education prepares students for working in a challenging environment. As an interdisciplinary master's programme, IEM combines all essential topics that meet at the interface of business and technology: Design & Engineering, Production and Automation Technology, Composite Materials & Plastics Technology, Integrated Manufacturing Systems, Smart Production on the technical side, Industrial Management, Corporate Management, Strategy and Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Business Development on the economic side.
All this is conveyed in an environment that is characterised by professionalism and humanity in teaching and research. A dedicated team of lecturers is committed to imparting not only the technical input but also the emotional competence that has become so indispensable in leadership positions. However, future leaders must also have a high degree of innovative skills - in the course's innovation workshop this can be tried out under the best conditions. Students are given the necessary methodological skills to be able to experience prototyping and the development process as practically as possible.
Since the course of studies has a dense network and good regional contacts to industry, the exchange with practitioners and experts from the business world is not neglected. Students make contacts that accompany them long after they have finished their studies. Within the framework of the Master's thesis, they can broaden and deepen their focus in technology or business, or both. As graduates, they are much sought-after generalists who can choose from a wide range of job opportunities.

Campus & Arrival
Villach
The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.
Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.
In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.
Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
