International Master in Industrial Management at Technische Universität München

The International Master in Industrial Management (IMIM) is a multi-site Master’s program, designed to provide students with primarily scientific or engineering-based educational backgrounds with essential business and managerial skills, relevant to pursuing careers in internationally orientated manufacturing and servicing industries. The IMIM Program is offered by four leading universities in Europe: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI), Italy, HeriotWatt University (HWU), United Kingdom and and Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany.

Study Program

Depending on their Bachelor’s degree, IMIM students will be enrolled either in TUM Master’s program in Management, Track 1 (Industrial Engineering) or Track 2 (Management for Natural Scientists). Whilst their studies at TUM, students will complete 30 ECTS of course work and write a Master’s thesis (30 ECTS).

Duration

2 semesters (winter & summer semester)

Courses

During their 3rd semester at TUM School of Management (SOM), IMIM students have to complete 30 ECTS of course work. They can choose 5 out of the following 6 courses*:

• Applied Econometrics – An Introduction (6 ECTS)
• Case Study Seminar Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation (6 ECTS)
• Advanced Seminar in Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Advanced Seminar Concepts in International Entrepreneurship (6 ECTS)
• Advanced Seminar Entrepreneurship (6 ECTS)
• Advanced Seminar in Finance & Accounting: Current Issues in Entrepreneurial Finance (6 ECTS)
• Marketing Entrepreneurship Lab (6 ECTS)

Thesis

IMIM students accepted for the 3rd semester at TUM will continue their studies at TUM undertaking their Master’s thesis in the 4th semester. Students have to indicate in which area (e.g. Entrepreneurship, Technology Management, Operations and Supply Chain Management) they intend to do their thesis and actively get into touch with TUM SOM professors in order to find a thesis supervisor. The TUM SOM supervisor decides if the student is qualified to undertake the thesis and, in the case of acceptance, acts as a supervisor. Physical attendance in Munich during the 4th semester is usually required.

Transfer of TUM Credits and Thesis within IMIM

All credits gained through course work and also the thesis, if applicable, will be fully recognized within IMIM.

Tuition Fee

TUM charges no tuition fee. However, all students will have to pay a fee of currently 113 euros for each semester in which they enroll in modules at TUM (including the Master’s thesis module), to be used towards the Student Union and a basic public transportation ticket (“Semesterticket”).
