About this program
Businesses and organisations need creative, multidisciplinary managers who combine technological know-how with engineering and management skills. In this Master’s, you will use simulations, as well as mathematical and statistical models to solve problems and improve the performance of (international) organisations.
You will learn to optimise operational processes, in which multiple and sometimes competing objectives need to be considered, such as improving quality and service, managing risks, increasing productivity, reducing costs, and enhancing sustainability. The integrated approach of this Master’s helps you become the all-round, yet specialised manager many organisations are looking for. There are three specialisations to choose from, in which you can focus on finance, production and logistics, or healthcare optimisation. Upon graduation, you could work as a consultant, researcher, or in a management role in different sectors.
