About the Program
Innovations in electronics have driven many technological advances in the past and will increasingly do so at an even faster rate in the foreseeable future. These innovations, on the one hand, open opportunities in almost every conceivable endeavour of society to improve the quality of life. On the other hand, they present significant operational and managerial challenges. Industries worldwide are shifting into gear in production technologies, both hardware and software, due to technological advances. The development of these new high technologies has given birth to the new academic interdisciplinary field of Mechatronics. The technological challenges of modern society and the requirements of the globalised labour market call for an excellent engineering education as well as for a sound additional qualification in the fields of business and management, soft skills and humanities. Therefore, the international Master's degree courses at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) include a set number of non-technical compulsory elective courses. You are passionate about engineering, but do you want to go beyond? You can combine this course with a part-time MBA programme in Technology Management at the NIT Northern Institute of Technology Management. Thus, you will meet the industry demand for engineers with a business education. You will graduate with two Master's degrees simultaneously and benefit from multiple career perspectives.
