Program Structure Business Engineering with majors in Product and Service Innovation and Operations Management

In order to deepen your competencies acquired at Bachelor level, the Business Engineering profile offers the opportunity within the Master of Science in Engineering to specialize in various fields of Business Engineering, e.g. in Product and Service Innovation or in Operations Management.

Program structure

Thanks to the flexible timetable, you will be able to focus on your career development and goals. You can achieve this by participating in one of the research programs currently conducted in our research centers at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts or with our industry partners. The Master of Science in Engineering is offered as a cooperation Master’s with other Swiss universities of applied sciences, which is why you will be able to choose from a wide range of modules and thus deepen your knowledge of your specific fields of interests. These modules ordinarily take place in Zurich. Each MSE student is supervised by a personal advisor throughout the program. The latter generally also supervises your two specialization projects and the master’s thesis.
