What you study

Industrial engineering and management is a broad, dynamic degree that combines several fields of knowledge and has grown alongside technological developments in industry. These developments have created a need to solve system-wide problems from an engineering perspective, and for engineers who can take responsibility for production, increasing output, streamlining systems, improving organizational processes, developing research methods, managing teams and departments, and more. Industrial engineering and management studies combine theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as engineering and technological knowledge alongside theories in the social sciences and management. Courses in the degree include: - core courses in mathematics and physics; courses in engineering theory (electrical and electronics engineering, materials, and manufacturing processes); courses in economics and finance (such as engineering economics, marketing, finance, and accounting); courses in organizational and management theory; and courses in programming and information systems.

After the degree

What graduates work as
