Industrial Management in Microelectronics (M. Sc.)

Gain solid and fundamental knowledge.

The production of micro and nano-electronic circuits and devices is a rapidly developing area with a high gradient of innovation. Dresdens modern industry is worldwide reknown as Silicon Saxony. There is a high density of globally acting companies which are now looking for well educated employees with an advanced technical knowledge and profound management competencies. The challenge is to be familiar with the lastest developments in semiconductor technology and to be able to organize the logistics of a rapidly changing production of circuits and devices with respect to both, an efficient and low-cost production, as well as to guarantee highest yields and quality.

Target group

  • This course is designed for graduates who have work experience in the field of engineering and want to gain solid and fundamental knowledge in modern aspects of processor technology, packaging, microsystem and sensor technology as well as fundamental information on operations and logistics management and project management in semiconductor industry and related branches. Therefore, combining the competencies of engineers with those of managers in this field.
