Leading minds in future technologies
In a manufacturing world in which technology and digitalisation are becoming increasingly complex, the need for experts who work at the interface between intelligent machines/systems and efficient manufacturing technologies is growing. In this degree programme, we teach this sought-after mix of technical and management skills.
Programme content and structure
Particularly job-compatible
Lectures take place on a maximum of one working day per week and sometimes on Saturdays, so that the course can be ideally combined with professional activities. The practical content is taught in the KSF laboratory at the IFC Innovation and Research Center in Tuttlingen. The IFC was opened in 2018 with a focus on research and offers space for research and development not only to Furtwangen University, but also to technology-oriented companies, entrepreneurs and start-ups.
