Master's in Management (MSc) Technical University of Munich

It is feasible for students to study in the programme up to 100% in English, but knowledge of German increases your course choices.

100% Management for Engineers and Natural Scientists

Management and engineering are increasingly interwoven. Companies no longer think in terms of traditional divisions. Instead, they are looking for individuals with a passion for management combined with outstanding technical skills.

Our Master's programme in Management positions you at precisely this interface. We designed the programme in Management for people with a first degree in engineering or natural sciences that have a strong interest in management. Based on your background in engineering or natural sciences gained during your first degree, the programme develops your skills in management, law, economics, and business. Later, you have the opportunity to individually specialise in your desired area of management.

Our teaching draws on the latest research and state-of-the-art industrial practice. In addition to lectures, we run regular tutorials and small-group seminars. You also have the option of spending a semester studying abroad.

Start of winter semester: October

The application period runs from 1 April to 31 May every year (national and international applicants).
