About the programme

The Master of Business and Engineering (MBEE) at THWS is a full-time Master of Engineering taught in English on the Schweinfurt campus. It runs for three semesters with 90 ECTS and starts every October. The programme prepares you for a world of shorter innovation cycles and rising uncertainty, often summed up as VUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Besides deepening your technical skills, it puts special weight on understanding problems as a whole and solving them in interdisciplinary teams. You complete six module exams, three in each of the first two semesters, and during the second and third semesters you work on a research project of your choice alongside your Master's thesis. Each cohort follows its own guiding topic through the programme. It suits graduates with a relevant Bachelor's in engineering, the natural sciences, economics or business.
