The aim of the research-oriented degree course is to provide students with the business management and methodological tools as well as the technical expertise to analyze complex interdisciplinary economic problems. Graduates should thus be able to apply their business expertise in close cooperation with engineers and natural scientists and thus be able to develop complex solutions to problems across disciplines.
Students receive a sound education in economics, which is supplemented by elements from computer science, natural sciences and technology. Students can choose an individual study profile from a wide range of elective modules, whereby the compulsory and elective area "Business Administration" plays a central role in terms of scope.
In order to promote intercultural competence and improve language skills, English-language courses are offered alongside German-language courses in the business administration and economics electives.
In view of the high demand for specialists with interface skills in the industrial and technology sector, the career prospects for TBWL graduates are very promising. By acquiring skills in the areas of communication and leadership, graduates are predestined for interdisciplinary management positions in various sectors.
The Master's degree program in Business Administration with a technical orientation in Ilmenau is particularly distinguished by its research in future-oriented subject areas and topics such as sustainable production management and logistics, innovation management, Industry 4.0/digital factory, renewable energies/storage technology and next-generation applications in the field of virtual worlds and enables students to shape the economic and social challenges of tomorrow through the close integration of research and teaching.
The strategic focus of research at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Media is on computational social sciences, which deal with the various aspects of the modern digitalized economy and society from an interdisciplinary perspective. The focus here is on the development and application of innovative methods for the analysis of large and complex digital data, as well as the technological and social effects of the ongoing digitalization of individuals, organizations and societies.
