Innovation, Product & Engineering Management
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.

Sustainable Solutions
If you want to shape real sustainability, you have to have know-how in many areas. This degree programme is interdisciplinary from day one. And theory is immediately brought to practical life: concrete projects and real challenges - here we work on meaningful solutions for "the real world". Sustainability experts examine value-added processes in companies, i.e. the path from the development of a product to marketing and recycling. They find and develop possibilities for improvement.
mehr
Process Engineering and Production
Every type of chemical production involves process engineering. Graduates of this programme are able to develop and operate plants and processes in this field.
mehr
Materials and Process Engineering
In modern technology, a sound knowledge of materials and the various ways of processing them determines the design, function and durability of products. Intensive research and development is undertaken to make new materials and methods of processing them possible. This course aims to prepare graduates to work specifically in this field.
