Engineering Management is a one-year master´s programme (equivalent to 75 credits), providing a tailor-made education in management for students with a degree in engineering. It is based on the current demand for employees who understand specific engineering professions and combine this with broad managerial knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Graduates from this programme are attractive on the job market thanks to their knowledge and understanding of engineering as well as management. You will qualify for a variety of positions and be especially equipped to take on project leadership and managerial positions in engineering-focused companies, which require abilities to integrate engineering practice with other business functions and communicating across the organization.
The programme offers a highly interactive learning experience. As a student you will work together with a diverse group of peers, joining the programme from various countries and having different engineering backgrounds. We have designed the programme to leverage your previous engineering expertise. Through practical projects and direct interaction with selected companies, you will develop in-depth understanding and lasting learning experiences. The combination of interaction with business, theoretical insight, and skills development ensures that this programme has practical relevance as well as academic depth.
Before joining fellow students and faculty on campus, you will take a pre-study course online that serves as an introduction to Business and Economics. The teaching on-site at Jönköping International Business School holds four modular courses (Foundations of Engineering Management; Leading with People; Boosting Innovation; Investigating and Reporting), each offering a set of interrelated subjects to capture the module’s theme. Specific focus is placed on fostering the participants’ ability to manage change and develop an entrepreneurial mindset. This mirrors JIBS’ extensive expertise and globally recognized research on entrepreneurship and renewal, as well as the demand on the job market. The programme closes with a master’s thesis and a summer internship.
