Employment prospects

A graduate who completes the Master’s programmes will show a distinctive multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge of the field.

They will be able to work efficiently in places, which do not require narrow or very specific technical knowledge, but a good technical foundation coupled with economic and organisational skills. They will be able to integrate different more or less specialised groups into an efficient team, a skill needed by team and production leaders.

If he/she is chosen not to act as a team leader, his/her main role will be to liaise between professionals of different backgrounds (technical, technological, economic, organisational, and other) and thus ensure business efficiency within interdisciplinary fields.
