You are first and foremost trained to become an industrial engineer, and you learn to look at the applicability of your solutions in the business world.After all, a technical solution is only useable if you have thoroughly tested its feasibility. Imagine, for example, that you have developed a new method to keep pepper-flavoured crisps fresh for longer. Is the production process still cost efficient? Does the method fit into the production line? What do the company’s employees think of it? And do customers still find the crisps tasty?The degree programme is offered by the Faculty of Science and Engineering so you can be sure of lots of course units in maths, physics and chemistry. In addition, you will follow course units in business studies, management and logistics. Your technical know-how and your management insights will prepare you for jobs where technology and management meet. Embedding in business and society is a key element of this degree programme.International Bachelor’s programmeThe busi
