Combine the best of two Worlds

The TUM Campus Straubing is the perfect environment for me to be motivated to strive towards more sustainability in research and business. In addition to the academic advantages, the Master in Sustainable Management and Technology offers me the best conditions to exchange ideas with fellow students outside of the lectures, especially in the field of sustainability. For example, a new network of newly founded student initiatives is currently being established. This interpersonal exchange with other students, lectures, and professors makes it a unique experience.

The Master in Consumer Science was a good decision promoting personal interests by allowing for a flexible course selection. Engaging content is offered in specializations such as Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Management and Marketing, or Economics. Studying in an international environment with dedicated professors provides an interdisciplinary experience. Mandatory modules, the project study, and the semester abroad offer a high level of practical experience and prepare students for a successful career in an international environment.

The challenges of today often require an interdisciplinary approach. I chose the Master in Management program because it offers excellent education in economics and management with a focus on both industry and research. Since it is specifically tailored to graduates in engineering and natural sciences, it fosters to connect my technical background with economic knowledge. Rigorous core classes during the first year build a solid, broad foundation in management-related topics. Study abroad programs and project studies with companies encourage students to discover their own path.

I was looking for a master program that not only allowed me to specialize in business, but also introduced me to the field of technology, and during my search I came across the Master in Management and Technology at TUM. I am currently in my fourth semester, and I have been able to further develop my knowledge in management, to learn and apply new concepts related to computer engineering, and to enhance my soft skills through interactive lectures and seminars. Due to the large number of electives of the program, I have been able to tailor it the way I want it, including choosing English-taught courses.

I’m super grateful to be a part of FIM, and to be involved in the mentor program as a mentee: interactive and tailored courses with proactive and inspiring fellows have definitely motivated me to reach beyond my limits. The academic and corporate mentors have not only provided me opportunities to gain practical experiences, but also guided me to find my passion and to better pursue my career goals.
