1 course objectives

1.1 Purpose of the course

The vision of the TUM School of Management is to become one of the leading institutions for the training of
managers at the interface to engineering and natural sciences, so that the talents trained here can make a
contribution to overcoming the challenges we face in society. This goal is based on the realization that the
interdependencies between the corporate divisions have increased enormously. The change in corporate
organizations and cultures and the associated dissolution of traditional departmental boundaries are an
expression of this development. Of course, these changes also massively affect the requirement profiles of
the actors acting in this context.

A lack of knowledge of the respective other discipline and a lack of understanding of the respective other
subject culture lead to communication and know-how barriers in practice. are managers with a high level of
responsibility or the entire organization
regularly asked to solve holistic challenges, which in their nature cannot be assigned to just one specialist
discipline. At least a solid understanding of how colleagues work and think in the various departments is the
key to successful leadership and professional performance. Working in interdisciplinary teams with business
economists, engineers or natural scientists

scientists has become the standard for efficient companies. Decisions at the interface between management
and engineering and natural sciences are becoming the norm. Knowledge that encompasses more than just
business skills is required in order to translate the perspectives of the various specialist disciplines into
adequate management decisions. An example of a common challenge is the ever-increasing use of software
or technology to solve business problems. In order to be able to make competent decisions about the
procurement and use of these, it is crucial for managers to have a solid basic understanding of how they
work. An example of a job description is the product manager, which is becoming increasingly important in
many companies (start-ups as well as established companies). In this interdisciplinary role, the processes
for the development and manufacture of customer-oriented products or services are coordinated, e.g. when
developing software.

It is crucial for the manager to have the appropriate skills to (1) understand the respective markets and
customers and their needs ("What do they really want and how much would they pay for it?"), (2) to assess
the possibilities of technical feasibility (“Can our software do this and, if so, when and at what cost?”) and (3)
finally to be able to manage any processes of implementation up to the product range. This is an example of
a role that requires knowledge and skills in different areas, but also the ability to manage processes at the
interface.

The Master's in Management and Technology course addresses this fundamental interdisciplinary challenge.
Interface experts are trained, who, in addition to in-depth business management knowledge, are taught
basic knowledge of an engineering or scientific field. Knowledge of elementary technical

Technical or scientific contexts and the design of the associated development and production
processes enable them to assess situations and make correspondingly well-founded decisions. The
methodological and procedural management tools, which are used for process design and promote
interdisciplinary thinking and acting at the interface between economic, engineering and scientific
areas of the company, are of great importance.

The aim is to produce graduates who are able to understand and analyze engineering or scientific
problems and to integrate them into the context of an entrepreneurial company.

1.2 Strategic importance of the course

The program portfolio of the TUM School of Management includes bachelor's, master's and
continuing education courses. The task of study and further education anchored in the Bavarian
Higher Education Act as well as the idea of lifelong learning is implemented with this program portfolio.
A strategic goal of the TUM School of Management is the teaching of outstanding management skills
and the acquisition of engineering or scientific skills.
Graduates should learn to develop and integrate solutions across disciplines and to acquire a wide
range of skills to advance their career after graduation. The aim of the TUM School of Management
is to translate enthusiasm for innovation and technology into concrete results by teaching the
necessary management skills. An interdisciplinary teaching approach trains future managers who feel
equally comfortable working with management experts, engineers and natural scientists.

An internationally oriented management education should be the foundation of the university

education of our future designers of social change: The TUM School of Management is committed to
teaching technical and interdisciplinary skills for a developing, technology-driven knowledge society
and thus fulfills its mission as an innovation driver for the Business.

The previous education and thus the different admission requirements of our applicants characterize
the different programs of the TUM School of Management, which can be divided into four categories
according to their content:
(1) Interdisciplinary management programs that focus on the natural sciences, engineering and/or
life sciences: These include the bachelor’s degree in Management and Technology (formerly TUM-
BWL) on the campus in Munich and on the campus in Heilbronn, the bachelor’s degree in
Sustainable Management and Technology on the campus in Straubing, the master’s degree in
Management and Technology (formerly TUM-BWL), Finance and Information Management and
Consumer Science on the campus in Munich, and the master’s degree in Sustainable Management
and Technology on the campus in Straubing.
(2) Programs for students who, after a first degree in the natural sciences, engineering or life
sciences, are looking for basic management training to supplement their bachelor’s degree: The
master’s degree in management on the campus in Munich and on the campus in falls into this
category Heilbronn.

(3) Programs in the field of further education for applicants with one to three years of professional
experience: This category includes the master’s degree in Management and Innovation (double degree
HEC) on the Munich campus and the master’s degree in Management and Innovation (TUM Track) on
the in Heilbronn, who are target groups of young professionals with initial professional experience but no
management experience (yet).

(4) Programs in the field of further education for applicants with more than three years of professional
experience: This category includes the MBA programs Executive MBA, Executive MBA in Business and
IT and Executive MBA in Innovation and Business Creation on the Munich campus, which Target group
Professionals with (initial) leadership experience.

The degree program portfolio of the TUM School of Management is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Program portfolio of the TUM School of Management at the university locations in Munich, Heilbronn and
Straubing: bachelor's programs (dark blue), master's programs without professional experience (grey), continuing education programs with
professional experience (light blue), MBAs with professional experience (green)

The School divides its research and teaching activities into five areas of competence: (1) Economics &
Policy, (2) Finance & Accounting, (3) Innovation & Entrepreneurship, (4) Marketing, Strategy & Leadership
and (5) Operations & Technology . Masters in Management and Technology students can deepen their
business knowledge (from their previous bachelor’s degree) in various domains during their studies. They
can sharpen their profile to match their desired career goals.

In addition, the degree program is also in line with TUM's mission statement of being an entrepreneurial
university. Numerous contents of the course deal with innovations, entrepreneurship and company start-ups.
It is also a central concern of the course to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of students.

2 qualification profile

The qualification profile corresponds to the requirements of the qualification framework for German
higher education degrees (the higher education qualification framework – HQR) in accordance with
the resolution of the German Rectors’ Conference and the Conference of Ministers of Education dated
February 16, 2017. According to the HQR, the qualification profile of the Master Management and
Technology can be defined based on the requirements (I) knowledge and understanding, (II) use,
application and generation of knowledge, (III) communication and cooperation and (IV) scientific self-
image/professionalism. The formal aspects according to the HQR (admission requirements, duration,
degree options) are explained in chapters 3 and 6 as well as in the corresponding subject examination
and study regulations.

The standard period of study for the Master in Management and Technology course is 4 semesters (120
credit points) and entitles you to take up doctoral studies.

It can be studied as a consecutive degree after the bachelor's degree in technology and management-
oriented business administration (TUM-BWL) or management and technology at the TUM Campus
Heilbronn of the Technical University of Munich, after a bachelor's degree primarily focused on economics
or after a bachelor's degree economics. Thus, on the one hand, he builds on the specialist and

Methodological knowledge and skills in the field of economics, but also on basic knowledge in
mathematics and natural sciences or, depending on the orientation of the bachelor's degree, also on the
basic knowledge and skills already acquired in the technology focus.

Depending on the individual design of this course, in combination with the entry profile, there are
different profiles for the graduates:

• Graduates with highly specialized economic knowledge to take on planning and organizational
tasks with management responsibility in classic business departments of companies.

• Graduates with special industry-related knowledge (in the areas of Energy Markets or Life
Sciences Management & Policy) who have built up a special analytical profile through the
feeding from the business administration areas.

• Graduates who, in particular due to the knowledge and skills they have already acquired in a
selected technical discipline, have well-founded, in-depth engineering and/or scientific
knowledge (in the fields of chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and
information technology, information technology, computer engineering or industrial engineering).

• Graduates who have broad-based, cross-disciplinary skills in both economics and technology
and are aiming for managerial responsibility.

Of course, the training as part of the course will ensure the ability to conduct economic research,
particularly in the areas and interfaces mentioned.

The skills imparted in the Master in Management and Technology course are described in detail in
the following chapters 2.1 - 2.4.

2.1 Knowledge and Understanding

In the course of profile formation, a distinction can be made between (1) management and (2)
technical or scientific areas. Students can optionally choose to focus on a management area or
choose an overarching education. In the technical or scientific field, a focus is chosen within the
framework of which the acquired skills profile (minor or major) results from the previous knowledge of
the respective bachelor's degree. In detail, this profile is presented as follows:

Profile formation in the (1) management area takes place through the acquisition of knowledge in a
specialization in economics or in a broader acquisition of management skills in various management
disciplines.
Graduates of the Masters in Management and Technology have extended and in-depth specialist
and methodological skills in theory and practice in specialist areas of business administration such
as innovation and entrepreneurship, management and marketing, economics and econometrics,
finance and accounting, operations and supply chain management or in the industry-specific areas of
energy markets or management of life sciences. Optionally, they can apply and further develop the
concepts as well as the empirical and analytical methods in an economics specialization.

Students who do not choose an explicit economics specialization strengthen their interdisciplinary
professional and methodological skills. Training in the knowledge and application of terms and
methods in related areas that are also relevant for business economists, such as economics, can
also be an option
teaching, jurisprudence and the connections with business issues.

Graduates also have a critical understanding of the most important principles and methods in a
technical or scientific subject of their choice (either chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering
and information technology, mechanical engineering, computer engineering or industrial engineering).

The professional skills in (2) technical or scientific focus result from the level at which the
corresponding training takes place. The graduates, who complete a so-called “minor” in a technical
or scientific focus, have acquired basic skills in their subject. Graduates who do a so-called “major” in
a technical or scientific focus

can – depending on the intensity of the course – also apply concepts from their subject and, if the
course is intensive, also develop them further. It is up to the students to choose whether to take the
“minor” or the “major” of the respective subject. Since in the previous bachelor's degree Technology
and Management-Oriented Business Administration (TUM-BWL)

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 8

or Management and Technology at the TUM Campus Heilbronn of the Technical University of Munich is
preceded by a training of at least 42 CP in the corresponding area, the recommendation regarding the
previous knowledge for taking a "major" is with exactly this number of credits. It is not possible for students
who enter this master's degree directly from the above-mentioned bachelor's degree programs to take the
"minor" subject that corresponds to the chosen specialization in the bachelor's degree (e.g. the choice of
specialization "chemistry" in the bachelor's degree and specialization "chemistry Minor" excluded in the
master).

In the following, the selectable specializations are explained in more detail with regard to their content in the
minor and major:

The chemistry minor imparts basic scientific knowledge in the field of chemistry. The graduates have
elementary specialist knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology and
biochemistry, physical and technical chemistry. In addition, they have the necessary mathematical and
physical basics to be able to correctly evaluate chemical facts. They also have an overview of basic
biochemical and molecular biological principles and techniques. In addition to this original chemical content,
this focus also imparts basic knowledge in related areas such as chemical software, materials science,
toxicology or law for chemists.

In the chemistry major specialization , students expand their basic knowledge of chemistry and also acquire
further knowledge in various areas of chemistry, such as food chemistry, aerosols, industrial chemical
processes or construction chemistry. Graduates also acquire application knowledge, for example through
the practical application of technical chemistry.

In the electrical engineering and information technology minor major , students learn the basic elements
of electrical engineering and information technology. They understand and know how to apply basic physical
principles in these areas. They also know and understand the associated basic problem-solving methods.
Students are then able to reproduce the knowledge they have acquired and to apply simple systems based
on the basic elements themselves. In the further course of their studies, the students deepen their knowledge
of the application orientation of these skills, for example with the topics of energy, photovoltaics,
communication technology or nanoelectronics. Here the students get to know specific engineering problems
and their solution approaches, apply them in an engineering-like manner and can intensify the interlinking of
management and an engineering science in an interdisciplinary context.

In the information technology and electronics major , graduates expand their basic knowledge in this
area and also acquire further knowledge in various areas of information technology and electronics such as
multimedia, technical acoustics or telecommunications networks. The graduates he

You will also gain application knowledge, for example through the practical application of multimedia,
nanotechnology or energy and high-voltage technology.

Graduates with a major in energy technology know the most important processes and methods of energy
generation, storage and transmission and can classify and evaluate them. Their specialist knowledge
enables them to identify innovations in the field of electrical energy supply and to evaluate their potential.

work independently on complex projects in the field of energy production and supply.
They are familiar with power plant construction and power plant technology and are able to create interfaces
to all related disciplines. In their work, graduates are always aware of the technical, ecological and economic
dimensions of energy systems. They know the highly competitive energy market and are able to apply
economic evaluation methods. You will work in project teams, assume responsibility and coordinate
interdisciplinary cooperation between different departments.

In the mechanical engineering minor major , students learn basic subjects specific to mechanical
engineering such as technical mechanics, machine drawing, machine elements, production technology and
information technology. Technical Mechanics is used to study
which conveys the ability to independently formulate and solve mechanical problems in engineering
problems at an abstract mathematical level. As part of the basics of machine drawing and machine elements,
this knowledge is now transferred to complex technical drawings so that the students are able to develop
solutions for the production, load and assembly-oriented design of components, select and design suitable
machine elements and use them represent CAD systems. In the introduction to production technology, the
basic relationships between manufacturing processes along a production line are taught.

In the mechanical engineering major , students expand their basic knowledge and also acquire further,
application-related knowledge in various areas of mechanical engineering. The graduates set individual

Profile focuses on topics such as production and logistics, the automotive industry or energy technology.

Graduates of the Computer Science minor have basic knowledge of a programming language (e.g. Java,
SQL, C) and object-oriented principles. They know how to proceed when developing software and can
transfer known process models to an action context. They understand different database design approaches
as well as some database systems and query languages. You know the different types of information
systems, their components (e.g. human-machine communication, attributes) and areas of application (e.g.
navigation system) and are able to apply practice-relevant modeling techniques to different decision-making
situations (e.g. process optimization, cost benefit calculation). You have fundamental knowledge of reference
models and know software

Design architectures at the system level. Graduates also have technological skills: They understand the
interaction of hardware and software and know the elements and methods in the field of computer architecture
and operating systems. They know the theoretical basics of data modeling and can design databases and
integrate them into information systems. You can analyze, model and implement distributed systems and
design and use middleware.

In the computer science major , students expand their basic computer science skills.
You deepen your programming knowledge and learn how to transfer it to real practical situations in application
modules. Students also acquire basic knowledge in advanced areas of computer science such as artificial
intelligence and robotics or IT security.

In the Computer Engineering minor , students acquire knowledge of fundamental concepts such as B.
Representation of data, functions, objects, languages, algorithms, architecture of computer systems,
information management, information engineering, data analysis and visualization, programming languages,
electronics and control theory. Following this, the students learn the basic elements of electrical engineering
and information technology in particular
others in the form of analog circuits, electrical, magnetic fields and direct and alternating current applications.
You will then be able to recognize the connections in your main subject, to reflect what you have learned
and to apply simple systems based on the basic elements yourself, for example in the form of circuit analysis
or the application of signal processing methods to simple data sets. Since the focus is offered entirely in
English, students can also apply the skills mentioned in English.

In the Computer Engineering Major specialization , students expand their basic knowledge and also
acquire advanced, application-related knowledge in various areas of computer technology. The graduates
focus on subject areas such as artificial intelligence, the construction of technical devices or mobile
communication. Since the focus is offered entirely in English, students can also apply the skills mentioned in
English.

Graduates with a focus on Industrial Engineering Minor have basic knowledge of the design, control and
improvement of production and logistics processes. The students know the latest developments in the
production process and know how to integrate them into the processes of companies. They are able to
analyze methodical processes, structures and systems and derive recommendations for a more efficient and/
or effective design. A cornerstone is the understanding and interpretation of stochastic methods and data
analysis for decision-making. Graduates are able to apply these concepts in practice and to transfer the
methods to real life and industrial applications. The students also understand the weaknesses and strengths
of the methods. They are able to judge which method is to be used in which context. The students are also
able to use appropriate software appropriately. Since the focus is offered entirely in English, students can
also apply the skills mentioned in English.

2.2 Deployment, Application and Creation of Knowledge

Graduates of the Master's program are able to work out solutions to problems at the interface between
economic issues and their technical specialization with solution approaches from both disciplines. You can
apply or transfer the specialist knowledge and methodological solution-finding skills you have learned in the
field of economics and at the interface to the chosen technical or scientific focus to more advanced, profound
and complex problems and tasks . Graduates of the Management and Technology master’s program can
identify and design current research questions in the underlying disciplines, select concrete ways of
operationalizing research and justify them, select research methods and justify the selection, and convert
them into results and these

interpret and communicate critically. Thanks to TUM’s application and practice orientation, graduates can
also use these skills to generate knowledge in a business environment, e.g. B. in the area of business
development or for start-ups and spin-offs.

2.3 Communication and Cooperation

Graduates can take on management tasks within the framework of complex and internationally oriented
projects with an economic and technical orientation. The graduates know the different discussion cultures
and languages of the specialist disciplines and have a keen awareness of possible inter- and transdisciplinary
conflict potential. In a way, they also take on a “translator” function in the company. In particular, they are
able to reflect on and integrate different perspectives from (business) management and technically oriented
participants and to take these into account in their decisions. This means that they are able to involve
relevant experts and knowledge holders in solving entrepreneurial problems, to respond to the respective
challenges in dialogue with the individual groups and, despite the often different communication culture of
the groups, to find an efficient solution to achieve in the interests of the company. Reflecting on the different
ways of thinking leads to a synthetic, constructive solution. Graduates can contribute their knowledge and
skills in a goal-oriented manner to professionally and culturally heterogeneous work groups or project teams.
Since the course is up to 100% in English, graduates are also able to communicate fluently in English.

2.4 Scientific self-image / professionalism

Graduates of the master's program have acquired the competence to set a goal based on their strengths,
weaknesses and interests and to work towards it through a targeted selection of subjects. In addition, they
have proven that they can work persistently on demanding projects (e.g. master's thesis). The graduates are
capable of a fundamentally professional attitude and responsible perception of the tasks assigned to them.
In this context, graduates draw on the skills they have acquired for reflection, for critically questioning and
evaluating familiar circumstances and the ability to classify social and entrepreneurial expectations in an
ethical and moral context.

The graduates have learned to think entrepreneurially and can contribute to the economic success of a
company in a managerial position as technically competent executives. Regardless of the combination of
specializations, graduates are able to take on demanding jobs at the interface between technical areas of
the company, such as production and product development, and commercial areas, such as accounting or
marketing.

3 target groups

3.1 Addressees

The target group for the Management and Technology master's program are excellent graduates of
a comparable Bachelor's degree in Management and Technology
First degree at the interface of economics and economics and engineering/natural sciences or a first
degree in economics with a high technical level
caffinity from Germany and abroad with very good knowledge of English. The knowledge acquired in
the bachelor's program in economics, economics, mathematical and logical basic knowledge,
knowledge of the relevant research methods
and, if applicable, knowledge of engineering and natural sciences of particular interest. The high
number of applicants since the introduction of the Management and Technology master's program
demonstrates the attractiveness of master's programs at the interface between economics and
engineering/natural sciences, both for students from interface programs and graduates of purely
economics bachelor's programs.

3.2 Prior Knowledge

An aptitude test ensures that the applicants have the knowledge required to successfully complete
the degree program in the area of the fundamentals of economics, statistics and mathematics, as well
as empirical methods and quantitative processes that are used in business administration.

Prerequisites are in-depth knowledge of business administration, basic knowledge of statistics/

empirical research methods and mathematics. Graduates of a college or university from selected
countries that have not signed the Lisbon Convention are also required to provide evidence of
specialist knowledge in the form of a “General Management Admission Test” (GMAT).

The competence for problem-related application to questions at the interface between engineering/
natural sciences and economics as well as the competence of scientific work and clear and precise
argumentation skills are required. The aptitude procedure is regulated in detail and explained in detail
in the statutes of the degree program. After evaluation in the first stage, the applicants are either
immediately admitted or rejected, depending on the number of points achieved, or an essay submitted
with the application is used for assessment.

Depending on the technical subject chosen, the master’s degree can be completed entirely (computer
engineering and industrial engineering) or partially in English. Very good knowledge of English is
therefore a prerequisite for a successful application. These are already checked when the application
is received using language certificates. Graduates of the bachelor's degree in management and
technology who choose to specialize in computer engineering thus have the opportunity to obtain a
master's degree in management and technology
Studying Technology entirely in English.

3.3 Target Numbers

The TUM School of Management currently educates around 39% of its students at Bachelor's level and 55%
of its students at Master's level, as well as 6% of its students in the area of Executive Education
tion (as of October 2021).

Since an aptitude test is carried out in the Management and Technology master's degree program in order
to select suitable applicants for the interdisciplinary degree program, no exact target number can be given.
From the 2022/2023 winter semester, this aptitude test will be supplemented by the GMAT as an admission
requirement for students from selected countries in order to create a better match between applicants and
the target group.
The course is basically designed for annual beginner cohorts of around 650 enrolled students (as of October
2021). In the 2020/21 winter semester, 464 students and in the 2021 summer semester 261 students began
their Masters in Management and Technology at TUM.

The development of student numbers and applications between 2017 and 2021 is shown graphically in
Figure 2.

Figure 2: Development of the absolute number of students in the Master Management and Technology between 2017
and 2021 (as of October 2021)

Along the recruitment process, this is broken down into applications – admissions – accepting a place at the
university – enrollment. The Master Management and Technology was introduced in the 2017/2018 winter
semester. In the 2017 summer semester, however, the Technology and Management-Oriented Business
Administration (TUM-BWL) and Business with Technology (WITEC) courses were offered for the last time,
which led to a large increase in applications in the 2017/18 winter semester from “changers” from the two old
courses in the Master in Management and Technology. Since 2019 there has again been an increase in the
number of applications. It can also be seen that on average around 30% of the applicants

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 14
Machine Translated by Google

ultimately matriculate for the Master Management and Technology. The adjustments to the selection process
with a standardized and comparable GMAT for students from selected countries will improve the aptitude
test for applicants
and therefore expect a decline to the previous target figures with applicants of better quality at the same
time.

Our forecast for the development of the expected number of students is based on the assumption of constant
quality and constant or increased awareness of the degree program (e.g.
through international awards such as the QS Ranking 2022, in which the Master in Management
and Technology ranked 23 or the annual Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking which ranked
49 in 2021). Another factor is exhausting the international market. Due to its character and the high degree
of studyability in English, the course is very attractive to international students. The proportion of international
students at the Munich campus is currently around 66%. Exploiting the undoubtedly high potential of the
international study market will be a lever to keep the number of students of the Masters in Management and
Technology at the TUM Campus Munich constant.

4 Needs Analysis

In times of technological change, skills at the interface between economics and engineering and natural sciences are in
demand more than ever. Compared to pure business economists, engineers or natural scientists, these profiles always have a
great competitive advantage on the job market when positions have to be filled that are caused by the interaction between
business administration and technical or scientific company departments

enough to be characterized. Especially at the interface between commercial and tech

However, in the niche or scientific areas of the company, practice is characterized by high know-how and communication
barriers that arise from a lack of specialist knowledge and insufficient understanding of the other area. Industry experts,
employers, and graduates of the previous Management and Technology master's program confirm the major competitive
advantage of a degree that creates language skills between business people, engineers and scientists.

Issues of sustainability, responsibility and ethics have come to the fore in technological innovation, economic development
and global business conduct.
In view of increasingly complex societal challenges and global megatrends –
from the impact of digitization or climate change on society, to the aging of the population, the fight against hunger and poverty
and the energy transition to the stability of global financial markets - business schools around the world are responding to the
growing demand from students and employers and other stakeholders by placing these issues at the heart of their education.

The TUM School of Management has recognized that an interdisciplinary education and the search for ways to successfully
reconcile economic, social and technological goals is a crucial skill for future managers in the area of tension between business
and technology and makes a decisive contribution to this to create the necessary societal trust on which successful
management practice will depend in the coming decades.

Graduates of the Management and Technology master's program are qualified to work in various functional areas such as
accounting, marketing, organisation, finance, controlling or human resources. Potential employers are both start-ups and
established companies or consulting firms in a wide range of areas such as technology, IT, automotive, mechanical engineering,
chemicals, as well as auditing and tax consulting companies and management consultancies. They are also predestined to
take on general management tasks in these areas.

In the past, the ability to work at the interface between management and the technical areas of a company has always been
a great concern for both the company representatives of the cooperation companies of the TUM Career Service Center and
the members of the Advisory Board of the TUM School of Management Competitive advantage for employees highlighted.

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 16
Machine Translated by Google

In the meetings of the Advisory Board, the board members often even emphasize the need to hire
graduates with a business focus and technical understanding in order to fill innovation-intensive
corporate areas such as research and development with them and to be able to make the knowledge
gained economically usable.

The expert Burkhard Schwenker, head of the management consultancy Roland Berger for many
years, in an interview for the Wirtschaftswoche, in which the classic business administration course
is put to the test, also makes the following claim to the business administration: "The narrow-gauge
apprenticeship is no longer sufficient", he says. One focus of good business administration training is
interdisciplinarity.”1 In the same article, Klaus Friedrich Schmiedgen, head of training at SAP in
Germany, explains the importance of the cross-cultural need for skills: “As a software company, we
are clearly geared towards digital transformation, and a basic understanding of this is essential for all
SAP employees.”2

The orientation of this course takes these assessments into account and builds on them –
with a combination of management vs. technology of 70%. 30% The master's degree in Management
and Technology thus offers graduates the best prerequisites for mastering these new challenges at
the interface between business administration and engineering or natural sciences.

Surveys of the graduates of the last semester (SoSe 21 / WiSe 20/21 /

SoSe 20) of the course confirm the high relevance of the training at the mentioned
Interfaces:

• 71.6% / 80.0% / 68.8% of the graduates surveyed were able to sign their first employment
contract no later than 3 months after graduation, 38.8% / - / 25% even before that
completion of studies.
• 90.1% / k. A. / 87.5% stated in the surveys that they would make the decision again to study
the Master in Management and Technology course.
• Of the graduates from the 2021 summer semester, 86.0% stated that they would work in an
internationally oriented company after graduation. 67.3% of respondents confirmed that
they work for a company with more than 500 employees.

• Of the same respondents, 74.0% (very) agreed that they would work at the interface between
business and technology or the natural sciences after graduation.

• Again, 90.0% confirm that their current position matches the training they have completed.

According to the surveys, graduates work primarily in consulting, in project management or in IT.

Finally, the high relevance can also be drawn from relevant rankings and comparisons with other courses of
this type:

In the annual QS Management Masters Ranking from 2021, the Masters in Management and Technology
degree came 23rd in an international comparison. Universities, faculties and their degree programs are
evaluated according to five different criteria: Employability, Entrepreneurship and Alumni Success, Return
on Investment, Thought Leadership and Class & Faculty Diversity. In the Employability3 category , the
course achieved a score of 80.4 out of 100 and thus came in 13th place of all 150+ courses compared - far
ahead of all their German management courses.4

The labor market relevance of graduates of the Management and Technology master's program can
therefore be rated as very high and will continue to increase due to the increasing challenges (mobility,
demographic change, digitization, etc.) at the interfaces between the disciplines. By imparting further
management knowledge, a wide range of economic, technical and scientific specialization options,
experience in dealing with other (professional) cultures and the explicit promotion of English language skills,
graduates become

Table 1: External competitors of the Master in Management and Technology

In Germany, many master's programs are offered that focus on training at the interface between technology
and management. However, these master’s courses are mainly courses that focus on engineering/scientific
training and which lead to a bachelor’s degree, e.g. B. in industrial engineering or business informatics.
These courses often allow you to choose a field of study, e.g. For example, at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) you can choose between mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Also
the M.Sc. in industrial engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is a consecutive course that
requires a bachelor’s degree in the same or a related subject. This is characterized by the choice of subjects
and areas within business administration, economics, engineering, computer science and operations
research. However, the choice

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 19
Machine Translated by Google

compulsory area with 18 CP only covers a small part of the course. The new Masters in Management and Digital Technologies
from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, which was introduced in October 2021, is located at the interface of
management, digital technologies and computer science.

Even in a European comparison, the Master in Management and Technology has a unique selling point. There is no
comparable course of study with a similar freedom of choice and variety of profile development in Europe. Similar, noteworthy
courses at European level are, for example, the Master in Management, Technology and Economics at the ETH Zurich
(Switzerland), the Master in Management, Technology and Entrepreneurship at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne (Switzerland) and the Master in Industrial Engineering & Management at the DTU (Denmark).

In addition to the wide range of subjects offered by the TUM School of Management, students in the Management and
Technology degree program can also choose from a wide range of different faculties and schools at TUM between the
subjects chemistry, electrical engineering and information technology, computer science, mechanical engineering, computer
engineering and Choose industrial engineering.
The well-founded business management training is combined with a wide range of engineering/scientific specializations and
thus forms the unique selling point of the Management and Technology course. Furthermore, the master's program
Management and
Technology due to its very large proportion of elective modules for the above-mentioned courses. This enables the students
to develop and sharpen their own individual profile.

5.2 Internal Competitive Analysis

At the other faculties and schools of the Technical University of Munich, no Mas
ter in Management and Technology offered a directly comparable master's degree.

The fact that a large number of current applicants for the Master Management and
Technology comes from the Bachelor in Management and Technology, indicates that the offered Master's course is very
attractive for a consecutive study and that there are hardly any internal alternatives. The TUM School of Management also
offers the Bachelor in Management and Technology with a specialization in digital technologies and the Bachelor in
Sustainable Management and Technology on the Heilbronn and Straubing campuses. These two courses differ not only in
the place of study, but also in the specified engineering and scientific focus.

The other Master's degree programs offered by the TUM School of Management differ greatly from the Master's in
Management and Technology in terms of the target group and the content focus topics such as consumer science, innovations
or finance & information management. The applicant groups can be clearly separated due to the different access requirements.

Outside of the TUM School of Management, there are two bachelor's/master's degree programs that also focus on training at
the interface of business and engineering or
Natural sciences have: the bachelor's/master's degree in Information Systems (business informatics) - offered by the Faculty
of Computer Science (business informatics with a good 20% economics component) and the master's degree in development,

tion and management in mechanical engineering - offered by the former Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
now part of the TUM School of Engineering and Design - (mechanical engineering degree program with a
purely economics-related course offering of around 10%).

Both course concepts emphasize the engineering and natural science courses, with economics training
being offered as a supplement. Against this background, the courses listed will generally appeal to applicants
with an interest in technology, while those interested in a Master’s degree in Management and Technology
will apply with a focus on economics and the intention of gaining basic know-how with regard to their future
professional activity to build up in an engineering or scientific subject or, if you have the appropriate previous
knowledge, to expand it further by choosing a major. Due to the different priorities, no cannibalization effects
are to be expected within the TUM.

6 Structure of the course

The Management and Technology master’s degree course covers four semesters in the standard period of
study. The knowledge, skills and competencies specified in the qualification profile are taught in four blocks,
as described below: focus on management or alternatively elective modules in management (30 CP; green),
engineering/scientific focus (30 CP), economics -Technical elective (30 CP) and the master's thesis (30
CP), as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Master in Management and Technology structure

Emphasis in management / elective modules in management

In the area of the economics focus (“focus in management”) or alternatively the economics elective modules,
the students have modules to choose from
available in the following disciplinary competence and interdisciplinary focus areas:
• Innovation & Entrepreneurship
• Management & Marketing
• Operations & Supply Chain Management
• Operations Research & Analytics
• Finance & Accounting
• Economics & Econometrics

• Energy Markets
• Life Sciences Management & Policy

Alternatively, students also have the option of choosing 30 CP from all management modules offered without
having to choose a specialization.

In the elective modules, which have the character of seminars or lectures, technical knowledge and
methodological skills of the respective department, which the students already know fundamentally from
their economics, economics bachelor’s degree, are trained and deepened. All students are required to
complete at least one module of 6 CP as an "Advanced Seminar". If the students have a management

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 22
Machine Translated by Google

ment major, this advanced seminar must be taken as a major; if not, the advanced seminar can be taken in any
area. This ensures that all students acquire advanced knowledge of scientific work. Under the guidance of a
lecturer, the students work on a topic independently by using their skills in literature research, relevant
methodology and analysis, among other things. The learning content is usually checked in the form of seminar
papers and/or presentations and discussions. Completion of this module is recommended in the sense of
preparation for the Master's thesis after the other courses.

Engineering or scientific focus

Depending on the previous knowledge of the students in the field of engineering and natural sciences, there are
different options in the area of engineering or natural sciences. Students who have already completed a
bachelor's degree at the interface between management and technology have the opportunity to further deepen
the focus they have already studied in the bachelor's degree. The following areas of focus are available for this,
which usually require prior knowledge of 42 CP in subject-specific modules:

• Mechanical Engineering "major"

• Chemie „major“

• Information technology and electronics "major"

• Power Engineering „major“

• Computer science "major"

• Computer Engineering „major“

The "major" specializations mentioned each consist of 30 CP elective modules and thus allow an individual
continuation of the engineering or natural sciences specialization tailored to one's own previous knowledge. The
students complete the same lectures, exercises and internships that are also offered in the undergraduate and
consecutive courses of the respective faculties and schools at TUM. In this way, the students get to know the
vocabulary, ways of thinking and approaches to solving problems of the respective discipline and can use them
themselves. In this way, students in the Management and Technology master's program not only strengthen their
skills and social skills in dealing with specialists from the chosen engineering or scientific field, but also deepen
their specialist knowledge in the chosen field.

Students who have not acquired any knowledge in the field of natural sciences or engineering as part of their
bachelor's degree, or students who would like to develop skills in a new engineering or scientific field, have the
following options:

• Mechanical beings “minor”

• Chemie „minor“

• Electrical and information technology "minor"

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 23
Machine Translated by Google

• Computer science "minor"

• Computer Engineering „minor“

• Industrial Engineering „minor“

The “minor” specializations mentioned consist of 30 CP elective modules. The students acquire well-founded basic knowledge
in one of the six engineering or scientific specializations offered. In order to ensure the connectivity of knowledge and
understanding of the respective technical language, it may be necessary in some areas to complete basic compulsory modules
of up to 18 CP at the beginning. This currently applies to the chemistry minor. These are again the original lectures, exercises
and internships that are offered to students of the respective subject in the undergraduate courses in engineering or natural
sciences. Since the students learn these basics together with the students of the undergraduate course, they simultaneously
engage in a completely different communication and solution culture in their respective engineering or scientific focus. In a
generic sense, the engineering or scientific focus fulfills the function of ensuring that graduates of the Management and
Technology course can communicate with representatives of the respective engineering or scientific discipline about its content.

Economics-technical elective / mobility window

In the area of the economic and technical elective area (Electives in Management and Technology), which is also a mobility
window in the 3rd semester, students have the opportunity to deepen existing knowledge according to their own inclination, to
acquire new knowledge in order to improve their own skills expand, or to put theoretical knowledge into practice in the form of
a project study. The following design options for the economic and technical elective area are considered to be ideal:

(1) Use to select further modules within the framework of the management focus or the management area (if no focus
was selected). This option offers the possibility of profiling in competition with special master's programs in
economics.

(2) Use to choose further modules of the engineering or scientific focus at basic or advanced level. This option offers
the possibility of sharpening your profile in competition with traditional industrial engineers, who normally have
more technical parts in their studies

its.

(3) Use in freely selectable proportions both for modules from the area of economics and from the engineering or
natural sciences disciplines. In this way, depending on their interests, the students broaden their knowledge with
a view to the interface between management and technology and, for example, illuminate it from the perspectives
of different disciplines.

(4) Provision of a semester at foreign universities in the sense of a mobility window. The freedom of choice means
that the recognition process for abroad

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 24

put modules simplified. This option increases the attractiveness of a stay abroad to sharpen an international
profile and to acquire knowledge in specialist areas that are not primarily pursued at TUM. Through such a study
abroad, the students are also intensively intercultural

rell sensitized and specially prepared for working in international teams.

Project studies with a scope of 12 CP can be chosen as part of the economics-technical elective. The project study creates
the opportunity to transfer theoretical knowledge into practice in engineering and natural science-related companies. This
promotes analytical and solution-oriented thinking and acting. At the same time, social skills are acquired, e.g. B. the ability to
work in a team, since the project study is completed in a group of at least two students.

The 30 CP in the economic and technical elective area are in accordance with the
Freedom of choice and personal profile development are designed as elective modules and can include all
common course formats.

master thesis

The Master's degree is completed in the 4th semester with the Master's thesis, which must be completed within six months.
Students contribute scientifically to this work
a specific economics topic or an engineering or scientific topic. For this purpose, the students formulate the scientific

current level of knowledge and discourse and, based on this, develop a specific question.
The students deal with the topic with the technical and methodological knowledge acquired during their studies
sen, using the scientific facts and methods developed in the course of the course and develop an independent solution to the
problem. Based on scientific research, they present facts and findings in writing, evaluate them and classify the results obtained
in the scientific and/or practical discussion. This enables the students to work on a project independently, systematically and
scientifically and to independently develop a solution. The topic is worked on in self-study, supported by feedback discussions
with a supervising professor. The master's thesis can be issued and supervised by expert examiners from the TUM School of
Management at the Technical University of Munich as well as by expert examiners from other faculties and schools that teach
in the Management and Technology course. Master's theses in cooperation with companies are generally possible. In terms of
content, the work is designed in such a way that it can be completed within a period of six months.

Since it is the declared goal of the Management and Technology master's degree program to encourage students to develop
a high degree of self-competence in the area of taking on personal responsibility, this degree program includes extensive
freedom of choice: For example, students are free to choose a focus in management or not . Should one be chosen

can this, the engineering or scientific focus as well as the design of the economic-technical elective area, depending on
inclinations and interests

TUM School of Management

15.12.2021 25
Machine Translated by Google

be selected and combined. Apart from the master's thesis, which is planned for the fourth semester, this also
applies to the chronological sequence of the other three blocks of the course
gangs.

Through their individual choice of courses and the possibility of studying the course up to 100% in English, the
students themselves control the extent to which and in which departments they acquire subject-specific,
business-fluent English language skills.

In order to ensure the best possible study feasibility despite the wide range of options for students, the TUM
School of Management has developed corresponding study plans for five exemplary combination options. If
this ideal-typical schedule is not feasible for each student, he or she will be able to make appropriate changes
in the elective area by individually adapting their study plan in order to be able to acquire the specified 30 CP
per semester . The International Office and Program Management offer weekly consultation hours as well as
regular information events and webinars for individual planning of the study plan and for planning a semester
abroad. Furthermore, as part of the buddy program, there is the offer of supervision by a student or a student in
a higher semester. The Buddy Program is organized by the School Office.

The phase abroad at HEC-Paris starts in the winter semester. By April of the following semester, the students
will have completed 40 CP in the specialization of the "Master in Management Grande École M2" (M2 =
specialization phase) at HEC Paris. Participation in the "Certificate Program" (15 CP) offered afterwards is
optional. A 15-week relevant internship must be completed between the completion of the bachelor's degree
and the end of the master's degree. We recommend doing this directly in France after your stay abroad. In
the 5th semester, the students either write their master's thesis (30 CP) at TUM or start at HEC Paris with a
research paper (20 CP) in cooperation with a TUM professor and finish it as a master's thesis at TUM, to get
a total of 30 CP.

Double-degree students who start at HEC Paris complete 60 CP in the "Master in Management Grande
École M1" (M1 = general management phase) at HEC Paris in the 1st and 2nd semester, as well as a 15-
week internship. In the 3rd, 4th and 5th semester, they attend the TUM School of Management and take 30
CP each in their economics specialization or, if no specialization is chosen, the economics elective modules
and 30 CP in their chosen engineering or .scientific focus. You will also write the Master's thesis (30 CP) at

8 Developments in the course

The Management and Technology master’s course was introduced in the 2017/18 winter semester. It builds
on the two previous courses, Technology and Management-Oriented Business Administration and Economics
with Technology. As early as 2008, the master’s degree in technology and management-oriented business
administration and in 2011 the master’s degree in business with technology were offered due to the demand
for well-trained graduates who are able to deal with the increasingly complex tasks at the interface between
technical and natural sciences and to master commercial divisions. With the introduction of the Masters in
Management and Technology, the previous target groups of the two courses were brought together:
graduates of the TUM-BWL bachelor's course or a comparable first course at the interface of economics and
engineering/natural sciences as well as graduates of an economics First degree with an affinity for
technology. As a result, synergy effects in the field of economics of the two courses were used and external
communication was simplified.

With the redesign of the program, the Master in Management and Technology can be studied entirely in
English, making it more attractive for national and international prospective students. A high degree of
individual choice and specialization options as well as a mobility window gave the students the opportunity
to recognize and develop talents, strengths and abilities and to sharpen their personal professional profile.
The wide range of options and specialization options in the field of economics, engineering and natural
sciences created the option of profiling both in competition with special master’s programs in economics and
with classic industrial engineers.

Based on the experiences and the evaluation in the suitability procedure of the first intake, this was adjusted
in 2018. The changes in the area of qualification requirements led to a targeted and tailor-made selection
of applicants for the course. Furthermore, the introduction of the essay as part of the selection process
resulted in faster processing of the applications. To ensure the acquisition of intercultural skills and
internationality for all students, the compulsory module Advanced International Experience was introduced
in 2018 (compulsory module from 2018 to 2022).
