Master of Science (M.Sc.)
in cooperation with Bern University of Applied Sciences (CH)
Duration: 3 semesters (full-time) / 6 semesters (part-time) – teaching language: English – Credit Points (CP): 90
On the one hand, the Master of Science degree program deepens modules that place high demands on theoretical knowledge and analytical thinking skills. In particular, first priority is given to mathematical-scientific basics and the general scientific deepening in the area of legal and economic aspects as well as the development of management skills.
On the other hand, in addition to some compulsory modules, students can choose from a diverse range, e.g. Systems Engineering, Special Aspects of Wood Processing, Change Management, Supply Chain Management, Quality Management, Furniture Safety and Testing, as well as Innovation Management and New Product Development or Simulation.
The Master's thesis should provide evidence of scientific and problem-solving work related to complex problems from the wood industry and related economic areas using scientific methods.
Graduates are very familiar with new technologies in the international environment of the wood industry and have further developed their ability to structure, process and decide on complex issues. Analytical thinking as a prerequisite for an engineering approach was just as required as responsible action in technical projects.
With the skills they acquired, they will be able to support companies in the free market, authorities or institutes in the wood, machine and plant industry, as well as wood construction and interior engineering with your practical knowledge. Fields of activity can be found in planning, project planning, production, marketing and sales, quality management as well as research and teaching.
