From ideas to successful products

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.

At IPEM, everything revolves around projects!

From the very beginning, you work on real projects and solve the problems of companies. In the process, you learn everything you need to know in the sixth semester during your internship at the company of your choice. In a team with your future colleagues, you can show what you're made of. And many of our graduates find their first employer this way.

With IPEM to your own start-up!
You can work on your brilliant idea for six semesters. Our experts and coaches will help you find the perfect business model and build the first prototype. And just like in "2 Minutes 2 Million", you present your "baby" to a top-class jury and receive valuable feedback.

With IPEM you build your first career network!
IPEM 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.

More about study projects, internships & research projects

Good to know

By the way, Mondays are free for IPEM students and Tuesdays are reserved for online teaching – so you only have to be present at the campus on 3 days a week.

The study program is based on project-based learning. Our students get to know potential future employers through various company projects, a full-time internship, and the possibility to participate in research projects. Students can also work on their own product ideas from the first semester and are supported by mentors.
