From ideas to successful products Bachelor

New products do not come to life by coincidence or spontaneous flashes of inspiration. They require innovation, product & engineering managers who find ideas tailored to customer requirements, evaluate and select them correctly, and support their successful implementation. Their work is the key to success, and their creative minds are therefore in great demand in companies. They work at the interfaces between marketing, design and technology – turning ideas into successful products.

The programme Innovation, Product & Engineering Management is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

With IPM you build your first career network!
IPM regularly organises excursions and field trips to well-known companies, exciting start-ups, up-and-coming coworking spaces or research institutions. In addition, courses are also held at external locations such as the Startrampe in the Tabakfabrik. This way, you not only see the latest trends, but also meet lots of exciting people and build up your career network along the way.

Das was ich am meisten schätze ist klar die Interdisziplinarität mit einer starken sozialen Kompetenz und dem IPM Spirit der im Studium vermittelt wird, der hilft mir im täglichen Leben zwischen den verschiedensten Abteilungen aus Technik, aus der Entwicklung und nicht zu vergessen am ende des Tages auch den Kunden.
