The NIT offers bachelors or masters with a degree in engineering the opportunity to study management at the NIT as an additional in-service degree program.

The NIT program is designed as a part-time degree course, particularly suitable for:

  • Young professionals with initial management experience who seek to extend their further career opportunities by means of an additional qualification, and
  • Companies which - as part of their HR development - intend to prepare employees without a management or commercial background for executive positions.

Employees with at least two years of career experience can study at the NIT for a MBA in Technology Management and employees with less than two years of career experience can study for a Master in Technology Management. The curriculum is identical.

Benefits of an in-service degree program:

  • The three-month internship planned as a part of the program can be undertaken in your own company. In their master’s thesis, students can also deal with a subject that is of relevance for the company.
  • With its international alignment and students from around the world, the NIT offers in Hamburg the flair and learning experience of an intercultural learning environment without the considerable financial and organizational outlay of studying at a foreign business school. The NIT’s lecturers are from well-known international universities and business schools such as the Cranfield School of Management (UK), the Instituto de Empresa (Spain) or Notre Dame University (USA).
  • A further benefit for HR managers is that offering young professionals the opportunity to study management as an in-service degree program may tip the scales and decide especially qualified and ambitious career beginners to join the company.

Preconditions for the success of an in-service study program:

Preconditions for the success of an in-service study program require commitments by both the participant and the company:

  • The participant must be prepared for a period of two years to take on the additional burden of attending evening and weekend lectures regularly and taking exams.
  • The company should be prepared to pay at least a part of the tuition fees, to grant the participant leave from work or ease the work burden sufficiently to enable the participant to fulfill his study commitments, and to support him in defining and working on suitable projects for his internship and his master’s thesis.

The NIT administration is well aware of the special requirements that arise for both the participant and the company from the need to combine work and study. That is why we are more than happy to discuss individual, customized solutions with you.
