Master's Structure

The Master's in Industrial Engineering & Management offers a high degree of customization, allowing students to tailor their program to suit their interests and ambitions. Within this Master's, students will build their expertise within one of three specializations.

Specialisations

The three specialisations are:

• Financial Engineering & Management (FEM)
• Healthcare Technology & Management (HCTM)
• Production & Logistic Management (PLM)

Each specialisation has its unique focus:

Financial Engineering & Management (FEM)

In this specialisation, students acquire the mathematical and managerial knowledge needed to fulfil their ambitions in the field of banking, insurance, pensions, and more.

Healthcare Technology & Management (HCTM)

This specialisation highlights the role of management in healthcare, focusing on the newest developments in healthcare technology and how to optimise healthcare processes.

Production & Logistic Management (PLM)

This specialisation focuses on the design, planning, optimisation, and control of operational processes in production, transportation, supply chains, sustainability, and service logistics.

How to Compose Your Master's

Composing the Master's involves three steps:

1. Step 1: Choose a Specialisation
   • At the start of the programme, during the first quartile, students need to choose a specialisation.
   • If students need to follow the Pre-Master's before entering this Master's, they will choose their specialisation in advance when applying for the programme.
2. Step 2: Choose a Research Orientation
   • Alongside the specialisation, students need to decide on a research orientation.
   • An orientation represents a scientific research area and determines a part of the mandatory courses students will follow and the field in which they complete their master's thesis.
3. Step 3: Select Electives
   • Next to some mandatory courses (which partly depend on the chosen specialisation), there is a lot of elective space.
   • Students choose elective courses that are related to their research orientation as well as other relevant courses.

Additional Specialisations

Students can choose these electives freely, but they can also add a second specialisation: a specified package of courses worth 30 EC. This can include one of the other two specialisations within the Master's in IEM or additional specialisations with courses from other (engineering) Master's at UT.

Additional Specialisations of IEM

• Financial Engineering
• Healthcare Engineering
• Logistics Management Engineering
• Sustainability in IEM

Additional Specialisations of Other UT-Programmes

• Information Systems & Management (Business Information Technology)
• Maintenance (Mechanical Engineering)
• Management and Design (Industrial Design Engineering)
• Technology Venturing and Innovation Management (Business Administration)
• Transport Engineering (Civil Engineering & Management)
• Water Management (Civil Engineering & Management)

Master's Structure Overview

During the Master's in Industrial Engineering & Management, students will collect a total of 120 EC within two years. The structure includes:

• Compulsory courses for the Master's
• Specialisation courses
• Elective courses

The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is used, where each credit represents 28 hours of work.

First Year

• Compulsory Courses for the Master's: 10 EC
• Specialisation Courses: 30 EC, determined by the specialisation and research orientation chosen
• Elective Courses: 20 EC, chosen in consultation with the specialisation coordinator
• Total EC of Year 1: 60 EC

Second Year

• Elective Courses: 25 EC, with the option to study abroad
• Master's Thesis: 35 EC, including a 5 EC course for thesis preparation and a research proposal, followed by 20 weeks of research and thesis writing
• Total EC of Year 2: 60 EC
