Seven Master Programs focussing on Engineering and Management | part-time
Seven different Executives Programs in Engineering and Business Administration/Finance are offered at the HECTOR School of Engineering and Management. The School - named after Dr. H.C. Hans-Werner HECTOR, the co-founder of the software company SAP - is run in cooperation with four University Departments and the International Department of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Founded in September 2004 the HECTOR School of Engineering and Management can be best described as innovative preparatory training for young professionals to assume extended responsibilities in general management.
Executive Programs
The seven M.Sc. Programs
- Production and Operations Management
- Management of Product Development
- Embedded Electronic Systems Engineering
- Financial Engineering
- Service Management and Engineering
- Green Mobility Engineering

combine a solid base in management with specialized and cutting-edge methodology in engineering in the master specific fields.
Program Structure
The concurrently taught Executive Masters Programs are designed for working professionals. Intermittent periods of lectures are scheduled to allow participants to continue with demanding careers while acquiring new skills. The programs start every one and a half years, either in March or September, and extend over a period of 18-20 months. The programs are divided into ten intensive modules of 14 days each alternating with monthly breaks. Each participant takes the same sequence of courses throughout the program and completes it with a master's thesis.
Teaching Structure
Our programs are more than typical MBA Programs. The primary goal is to enable young professionals to take a holistic approach when managing highly interdependent processes. Leadership for engineers in today's fast changing and complex environment does imply technological and organizational responsibilities as well as requires economical accountability and Human Resource Management know-how. Therefore all programs base on five Management Modules where the participants are provided with general knowledge in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Multiproject Management, and International Law so they can consider commercial consequences of business decisions.
The engineering emphasis of each Masters Program is laid on five additional Modules adapted to each specialization. The lectures in the Masters-specific field provide insight into the newest research topics. They convey current and state of the art methodology necessary to master the scope of innovative technologies. These engineering lectures also teach the theoretical background necessary to model and analyze key decision problems in manufacturing sites.
Workshops and case studies allow ample opportunity to explore the direct applications of the modules simulating the real business environment. The programs conclude with an independent masters thesis which allows the participants to work on a research project reflecting their own company's needs and its specific business environment. The final title bestowed after having successfully completed the programs is the M.Sc. of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
