Industrial engineers reconcile various interests: They understand technical requirements at a high level and at the same time can assess them with the "entrepreneurial lens". As universal talents, industrial engineers are in demand in companies wherever technical and economic decisions come together, such as in the areas of production, sales, controlling or consulting, but also innovation management or corporate management.
If you are interested in economic contexts as well as in technology, then the diploma program in Industrial Engineering and Management in Zittau is exactly the right thing for you to be able to translate between both worlds later on. With us, you will study on a modern campus, in a family atmosphere and, depending on your personal interests, you can specialize in the field of efficient production or sustainable energy supply.
The diploma is still considered one of the best degrees worldwide. With the title of Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur you have excellent career opportunities on the national and international job market and can actively shape the future.

The Industrial Engineering and Management degree course is suitable for all first-year students who want to combine business knowledge with technical knowledge.
You are not afraid of mathematics, like to think analytically and are prepared to engage with different subject-specific ways of thinking and methods. As you will be attending lectures and seminars together with students from the fields of business administration, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, you should also be open to communicating with different people.
In the foundation course, you will acquire knowledge in the fields of business administration and economics, mechanical engineering, energy and manufacturing management, accounting, mathematics, electrical engineering, law, computer science and business informatics. From the 5th semester onwards, you can deepen your knowledge with compulsory elective modules and specialize in one of the two major fields of study.
"Production and digital transformation" specialization
In the Production and digital transformation specialization, you will deal intensively with these topics: operational software, production equipment, CNC programming/robot technology, quality management and technical documentation as well as planning and controlling production processes. In the ERP project seminar, you will practise solving production management problems using practical examples.
Major "Sustainable Energy and Utilities Management"
In the Sustainable Energy and Utilities Management major, you will acquire in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of energy supply: thermal and electrical energy technology, electricity and gas management, energy process analysis, energy market and energy system planning as well as utilities management (including water and waste management).
Graduates of the interdisciplinary degree course in industrial engineering provide the economy with specialists who are able to think holistically and to understand and design complex processes. Building on a solid education in business administration, natural sciences and engineering, special knowledge and skills are taught in the fields of production management and energy management.
Thanks to their interdisciplinary training, industrial engineers work in all fields of activity where both economic and technical thinking is required. For example, in the fields of energy, production, logistics, marketing and sales, controlling or consulting, right up to company management.
