MBA in Engineering Management

An MBA in engineering (management) is a technically oriented business master. If you are interested in this academic further education and / or are looking for suitable MBA courses for engineers, you have come to the right place. We have compiled all the information below: Experience reports from graduates, course content, costs and requirements, all courses and much more.

Engineering management - this is a subject at the interface between business administration and (business) engineering. The MBA is primarily designed for engineers and scientists who already have a certain technical understanding and now want to supplement this with business knowledge.

Wichtig zu wissen: The differences between the study content of the various MBAs are sometimes very clear. You should therefore definitely inform yourself in detail about the study conditions etc., because engineering management is not just engineering management. Some universities interpret the MBA more economically, others, however, more technically or engineering.

The MBA Engineering Management focuses on business administration, but usually supplements it with technical subjects. For example, the "Master of Business Administration & Engineering" at Munich University of Applied Sciences includes lectures on digital factory planning or automation technology in addition to subjects such as controlling and finance management. In distance learning at Wilhelm Büchner University you will find quality management and project management as well as strategic innovation and technology management in the course.

Forms of study

All engineering management MBAs are designed to be part-time. The Wilhelm Büchner University offers the course as a distance learning course, at the Graduate School Rhein-Neckar the lectures take place part-time on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

At Munich University of Applied Sciences, however, lectures are attended three days a week (two evenings at 5:45 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. and Friday from 3:45 p.m.). Individual courses are held in block events at the weekend.

Requirements

In contrast, the study requirements are generally uniform. The MBA in Engineering Management is aimed primarily at graduates in the field of computer science or engineering / natural sciences.

In addition, one to two years of professional experience are required. In some cases, an admission test is carried out and has to be passed.

Costs

The costs for this MBA course are very different:

• Munich University of Applied Sciences : 6,900 euros
• TH Mittelhessen : 9,200 euros
• Graduate School Rhein-Neckar : 20,900 euros

To estimate: The graduate school is on average with the tuition fees, the MBA of the Munich University of Applied Sciences is very cheap due to the state sponsorship.

In addition there are costs for travel, accommodation or possibly the stimuli to the foreign module. After all, you can deduct all costs for the MBA from tax.

Alternative: Master of Business Engineering

At some universities there are courses that combine business administration and engineering under the name of Master of Business Engineering. The completion of these courses is not a classic MBA, but an MBE, M. Sc., M. Eng. or a combination of MBA and M. Eng. be.

Alternatives to this MBA

There are various options for engineers to continue their education with the Master of Business Administration. In principle, almost all study programs are open. Well, an MBA in health management or sports management rarely makes sense for an engineer, but from marketing to general management to entrepreneurship, there are numerous courses of study that are suitable as career support.

A generalist MBA is quite typical, that is, without industry specialization. Here engineers meet doctors and scientists and get a broad view of the bigger picture.
