Engineering Management

This programme provides a tailor-made education in management for those holding a bachelor’s degree in engineering. It prepares students for work in positions that require a broad management understanding combined with technical knowledge.

The programme is designed to meet the increasing demand for graduates that combine their technical understanding with the application of management knowledge in the industrial and engineering sectors. This competence is as important for renewal of local small and medium sized companies as for integration of big international supply chains.

After graduation, you will belong to an attractive group of graduates holding degrees in both engineering and management. This will qualify you for a variety of positions, especially those that require an understanding of the technical processes of a company to be a business leader. It will also enhance your ability to realise your own business idea or innovate within an existing firm. Engineering Management includes frequent business interaction to secure practical relevance as well as academic depth.

Courses address a wide range of management topics deemed necessary for an engineer to excel as a responsible business leader in various managerial roles. Course topics include responsible leadership, strategic renewal, internationalisation, (open) innovation, methods for business analysis, training in writing and presenting business reports.

Engineering Management is taught at Jönköping International Business School (JIBS).
