The MSc in Production Engineering focuses on serial production processes and their organisation principles. The theoretical lectures of the Numerical Methods module were the most enjoyable and memorable for me, as I learnt new mathematical methods for data management.

The advantage of this study programme is that lectures take place in the evenings after working hours, so it’s easy enough to combine work and studies. It gave me more knowledge that I could put into practice. After completing my Master’s studies, my responsibilities have changed – I was previously the head of one unit, but now I coordinate the activities of several different units.
