Want to scale up your managerial know-how and solidify your place in the field of engineering management? There is currently a huge demand across industries for professionals with engineering management skills and expertise, and the CMI-accredited MSc Engineering Management degree offered at our Berlin campus examines the most important areas of modern engineering management, while helping you develop the transferable workplace skills employers are looking for.
This master’s course will enhance your current knowledge and experience in engineering management, while exploring important topics such as bridging the 'communication void' between engineers and managers, managing technology innovation, and understanding the finer dynamics of risk and quality management.
During your studies you’ll not only learn how to manage engineering projects, but get an overview of the wider context of engineering and how crucial it is to have a customer-focused approach.
This degree will help shape my future by opening new doors for me as a professional. It's a stepping stone for my next challenge, both in academia and in my career.
Before earning your master’s in engineering management, you’ll study 180 credit hours divided over the following 7 modules:
Management of Traditional Engineering Projects (20 credits)
Competitive Strategy within Engineering Management (20 credits)
Agile Methodologies in the Business Environment (20 credits)
Developing People, Leadership and Capabilities (20 credits)
Introduction to Supply Chain Management (20 credits)
Analysing big data (20 credits)
Engineering Transformation Project (60 credits)
The way we assess our masters students provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your strengths and abilities. That’s why we choose a range of methods to keep track of your progress. These include:
This course is available to study full time through our blended learning study mode at our campus in Berlin, Germany.
The course is also available to students via online learning. This gives you the convenience of being able to study from anywhere in the UK or worldwide, providing you with the same high standards of teaching but with lower tuition fees.
I have enjoyed doing my master’s here because it’s not like a traditional university where you sit in a classroom and a lecturer talks and you write down everything. I like that when we come here there’s actually a discussion and we do a lot of analysis.
How does it work?
When you choose our blended learning study mode, you’ll have eight hours of timetabled classes spread over two days at our centrally located Berlin campus. This is combined with around 25 hours of independent study, which takes place through ilearn, our university campus in the cloud. ilearn contains all the resources you need to study successfully. You’ll also have access to our online library, BibliU, which contains almost half a million books, journals, and industry literature which you can make use of throughout your studies, removing the need to buy expensive course books in order to study successfully.
Full time study in Berlin is the best option for students who prefer the structure of regular face to face classes with their tutor and fellow classmates, and is particularly suited to students who are attracted by the opportunity to move to Germany to study, where you can take advantage of the employment opportunities available for overseas students.
Please note: our campus classes are temporarily being conducted online in our virtual classroom due to Covid-19 restrictions. Face-to-face classes will resume once the current restrictions are lifted.

Our online students study their degree through ilearn, Arden’s university campus in the cloud. ilearn provides everything you need to study at University.

Studying online doesn’t mean studying alone. As well as receiving regular feedback and guidance from your course tutor, you’ll be studying with likeminded students who you can meet with through our Unitu community, and you’ll have access to community message boards to discuss your course and the topics being raised within it. We’ve even set up community boards embedded into each of the course modules so you can have discussions with your tutor and classmates on the topics you’re currently learning.
