The Industrial Engineering and Management degree program has a modular structure and teaches content from four areas of expertise. Practical knowledge transfer takes place in a variety of courses and in various cross-program projects.
Your education and training as an industrial engineer are built upon four expertise areas alongside knowledge transfer.
The program has a modular structure, whereby courses are completed each semester. To a large extent, students can flexibly design their curriculum themselves. Alongside the obligatory core courses, students can individually shape their degree program to a large extent with elective and optional courses.
You can complete the Industrial Engineering and Management degree program as a full-time student in six semesters (three years) or as a part-time student in eight to nine semesters (approx. four years). Part-time study allows students to combine work and study. During eight to nine semesters, you will have around 20 lessons per week (corresponds to 4 half days). This allows you to take on a job with between 50 and 70 percent of full-time hours. In principle, it is also possible to work while studying full-time, but with significantly reduced hours.
The lesson times depend on the chosen place of study.
In later semesters, students can specialize in one area and refine the focus of their study profile. By choosing the specified course combinations, students gain additional areas of specialization, which are also listed on the final diploma. In principle, it is possible to forgo specialization. Specializations are chosen during the study.
At both Rapperswil and St. Gallen respectively, students have three specializations to choose from. Students can choose from the specializations of both campuses.
