Profile of the programme
How do I optimise a company with the supply chain management model and what is behind this organisational model? What significance does a professionally operated innovation management system have for an organisation and how do I implement this? How can I act successfully in a process-oriented way with the aid of information technology? What significance does the systematic implementation of the process approach have for my own company. How do I plan the supply chain? How do I create an integrated management information system on the basis of the latest and most important DP platforms?
These are some of the questions that students of the master's degree programme in Business Process Engineering ask in the first semesters. Analytically thinking people who also question things and processes are in high demand. In this degree programme, they learn to question realities, go in new directions and assume a key role for the benefit of companies.
The subsequent semesters place the focus on practical implementation. In real-life projects, you will experience the possibilities and limits for your action. How do I manage and control processes within the supply chain and how do I actively implement process management so that I can help the company in which I work increase efficiency and thus have greater success? You will learn the answers to this in the course of your degree programme.
Business Process Engineering is understood as the institutionalised, IT-assisted and active management of processes in a company. Our students learn the management of added value chains from logistics-compatible product development to disposal at the end of the life cycle.
Managed processes facilitate the achievement of the specified corporate strategy. In the process, the content from the degree programme is integrated into the projects and teaches professional project management in this way.
In order to enhance their personal profile students can also choose from 20 graduate modules offered in the master’s degree programme Module Library. The Library comprises courses grouped around the four main degree areas offered at our University: economics, engineering and technology, design and social studies.
