Businesses and organisations today need creative, multidisciplinary managers who combine technological know-how with engineering and management skills.
Do you see yourself taking on such a role in, for example, production and logistics, healthcare and/or financial engineering? Are you excited about using simulations, mathematical and/or statistical models to solve the problems and improve the performance of (international) organisations? If so, the Master’s in Industrial Engineering & Management (IEM) at the University of Twente might just be the right choice for you.
As a student, you have a lot of freedom to tailor your Master’s to your own interests and ambitions. We offer you different kinds of specialisations and research orientations, so you can develop your own expertise.
Specialisations
Financial Engineering & Management (FEM)
Healthcare Technology & Management (HCTM)
Production & Logistic Management (PLM)
During this two-year, English-taught Master’s you will learn to improve operational processes, in which multiple and sometimes competing objectives need to be considered, such as improving quality and service, managing risks, increasing productivity and reducing cost. The multidisciplinary approach of this Master’s helps you become the all-round, yet specialised professional many organisations are looking for.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.

Clear and relevant statement of motivation for one of the specializations
FINANCIAL ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT
In today's world, the risks are high. Professionals skilled in valuing and hedging risks are – and will continue to be – in high demand. As a financial engineering graduate, you will enjoy a wide array of career opportunities where you can apply the tools you have acquired.
Working for an investment bank or an insurance company is one career option, but by no means the only one. The skills necessary to price and manage complex risks are also highly valued by non-financial corporations. All internationally active firms need to hedge foreign exchange risk, while firms processing raw materials have to manage volatile commodity prices.
As a financial engineering graduate, you can also pursue other avenues of professional development, including consultancies, software companies and regulatory institutions.
HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT
This specialization gives you a solid foundation for a management position in a large healthcare organization. At the start of your career, you will most likely be involved in optimizing healthcare processes or managing the development and implementation of new technologies in the organization.
You may choose to focus on process design and organization, which involves using and developing performance measurement systems to help achieve improvements such as streamlining a hospital’s organizational processes.
Alternatively, you could focus on managing the development and implementation of new medical technologies or ICT solutions in healthcare organizations. In that case, your professional focus will be on estimating the need for a specific technology within the organization and its impact on patients, doctors and other relevant individuals.
PRODUCTION & LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT
This specialization provides you with a solid academic background for a management career in production and logistics. On graduation, you can look forward to opportunities in companies ranging from multinationals to medium-sized manufacturers and consultancies. You will also be well-equipped to set up your own company.
As a logistics manager or logistics analyst, you are sure to go far. If you opt for logistics management you will ensure the smooth flow of goods and handle the related effects on the organization. This applies both to internal logistics (production, inventory) and external logistics (supply of raw materials and delivery of final products). As a logistics analyst, your focus will be on analyzing and improving your company’s production and logistics processes.
Here are a few examples of starter positions our graduates have taken on: analyst at Procter & Gamble’s supply chain management department; logistics analyst at mail-order and online retailer Wehkamp; management trainee at Stork; operations management consultant at the AMC Medical Centre; solutions analyst for UPS Supply Chain Solutions; and strategy consultant at Boston Consulting Group.
