Together with your lecturers, peers and managers of external companies, you discover what you need to know and how you will be able to gain a deep understanding of your talents. Other than field specific aspects we will teach you practical 21st century skills that are important in an industrial engineering career. Such as:

Professional possibilities after graduation:
This programme leads to the international Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree. Our students are trained to become all-round experts in business engineering. With the knowledge and skills obtained at Fontys University students are likely to find work as managers or consultants in large and medium sized production companies, but our graduates may also be found in the service industry, or working for local authorities. Alternatively, there is the possibility to do a master or MBA and some students might take the step to start an own company.
