Business and Leadership for Engineers

Overview

Talented engineers are the beating heart of technology-oriented companies. Engineers in management roles can be a major advantage to companies in innovative markets. Their technical expertise and problem-solving abilities allow them to create new business opportunities. However, achieving success in the international world of business requires more than just technical know-how. To qualify for management roles, engineers also need business expertise, legal knowledge and social skills.

This study program teaches key content from business administration to a university-equivalent level, focusing in particular on the concerns of internationally-active industrial companies of various sizes. It combines the classic, key topics of management research with issues from the fields of psychology, the cultural sciences and the social sciences , thus comprehensively covering the current range of demands faced by managers and leaders.

Professional development, practical training & internationality

The practice of learned content and its real-world application are at the forefront of the program.

Throughout their studies, participants work on their own business project where they can apply the knowledge they have learned. As well as this, the participants will steadily improve their leadership and business skills. These include, for example, social skills , reflexivity and networking skills . Guided by trainers and coaches, and with the help of personalized and experience-based learning formats, participants will expand their skillsets and drive innovations.

Collaborations with prestigious universities and a worldwide network allow the eMA students to take a global outlook when arranging their study content , while also allowing them to gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience.

We developed the executive master's program in conjunction with leading companies in the fields of engineering and technology.
