M.Sc. Smart Production Engineering

Production technology is changing. Digitalization has had a major impact on the world of work and production over the past ten years, and its influence continues to grow significantly. As part of "Industry 4.0", production technology is becoming increasingly networked and more agile. New manufacturing processes are emerging, and entire industries must adapt their production towards global trends in productivity, flexibility and sustainability. The M.Sc. SPE responds to these developments with its interdisciplinary curriculum and qualifies you to move into advanced positions at the interface of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science.

As an M.Sc. SPE student, you will learn to
- provide quantitative analytical methods for process analysis
- design, direct, optimize and monitor production processes
- develop and enhance serial production lines and assembly systems
- improve manufacturing performance and identify process bottlenecks
- develop innovative production machines and assembly systems for state-of-the-art manufacturing planning

Graduates with at least a B.Sc./ B.Tech./ B.Eng.

Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering or a related discipline (e.g. automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, structural, industrial, or production engineering). Our Master’s programs require a minimum of 12 months relevant work experience by the time of enrollment. At the time of application, you must provide proof of at least 6 months work experience. The GRE is a mandatory document and the following scores are required: Verbal Reasoning: 145 points
Quantitative Reasoning: 160 points
Analytical Writing: 3 points

Accredited Diploma.

The job profile of the next generation of engineers will be strongly influenced by digitalization and advanced key technologies. When it comes to networking production machines, connecting cars with the infrastructure or designing smart factories: The industry urgently needs interdisciplinary trained experts to secure the future and competitiveness of production in times of digital change. The M.Sc. SPE addresses this demand with its curriculum and three customized specializations and thus qualifies engineers for the flexible, digital and smart production of the future.

Upon successful completion of the M.Sc. SPE, you
- design digital and information technology-based product and production-related processes
- identify digitalization potentials in industrial production
- develop holistic and sustainable solution approaches beyond production planning and design of a factory
- know how to create competitive advantages and implement new business models
