The success of a business enterprise depends decisively on the quality of its management. In times of intensifying competition and volatile change in the business environment, qualified managers and specialists commanding multidisciplinary skills are an important factor of success.

In this context, more and more fields of activity emerge with evermore complex problems. The level of competence that companies request from their employees is also increasing - the trend toward advanced qualification is already clearly visible today.

The growing relevance of technology for business activity requires fundamental, integrative knowledge of business skills as well as topics in engineering. The degree program prepares students to deal with the interdependent fields of technology and business as well as with comprehensive decision-making and management tasks.

The University of Applied Management offers an internationally recognized degree program combining the areas of engineering and business administration that can be combined with full-time employment.
