The study programmes at BTH are continuously monitored and developed through yearly follow-up dialogues, course evaluations after each completed course, and programme evaluations. Results from follow-ups and evaluations can lead to changes in the programmes. These changes are always communicated to the students.
Each educational programme is tied to an advisory board that discusses issues such as the quality of the programme, its development, and relevance for the labour market. In the advisory board, or a committee to the advisory board, teachers, external members, students and alumni are represented.
The Master’s programme in Industrial Economics and Management comprises of advanced courses within the main field of study, industrial economics and management, accounting for a total of 120 credits. The courses within the programme cover various topics such as market analysis, optimisation and financial theories, strategy and business development, innovation and technical-based entrepreneurship, management, and advanced research methods. During the third semester, you will be able to choose your specialisation from our two tracks: (i) Competition, production and financial analysis and (ii) Market analysis, entrepreneurship and strategy.
During the third semester, you also have the opportunity to study abroad at our partner universities around the world. The education concludes in the fourth semester, where the students write their degree project (30 credits).
The design of this programme follows these two principles: (i) the programme comprises of clearly specified assignments and courses that build upon and exploit prior general knowledge of the students within natural science, mathematics, and technical subjects, and (ii) the programme is based on and is related to advanced problems and topics that engineers and employees in technical roles encounter in their lines of work within many types of companies and industries. The courses within the programme not only combine theories with empirical assignments, but also with advanced mathematical, statistical and analytical methods.
The programme is campus-based and proceeds as full-time study. The teaching is given in the form of lectures, seminars and exercises. Depending on the nature of the course, you will conduct your study independently or collaborate in groups in the form of project or written and oral assignments. The programme is conducted entirely in English.
