Why IMIM
The overall aim of the programme is to provide students with a primarily
scientific or engineering-based educational background with business skills
relevant for pursuing managerial careers in internationally orientated
manufacturing and service industries. The need for such skills is growing
rapidly as graduates are increasingly expected to assume broader tasks and
responsibilities than most technical universities have traditionally prepared
them for. The programme is accredited by the Top Industrial Managers
Europe (TIME) Association: a confederacy of leading technical universities in
Europe.

Scope and Structure of the Programme Top of the page
The programme covers a broad range of managerial topics and gradually
deepens the students' knowledge of these. Particular emphasis is placed on
topics of great relevance for technical university graduates, such as
operations and supply chain management. Another key feature of the
programme is its integrative teaching approach aimed at developing the
ability of students to tackle managerial issues in a holistic and
interdisciplinary manner. The fourth semester is entirely devoted to industry-related
project work in close collaboration with European companies, forming
the basis for a master thesis to be submitted towards the end of the
semester.
The duration of the programme is four semesters (two years). Students will
spend a semester at each of the three participating universities, thus
having the opportunity to leave a fully enriched multicultural
experience and to get accustomed to different working environments. |
