@oth-aw.de or +49 (961) 382-1915.Masterstudiengang Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen: Option Teilzeit-Modell oder Vorab-Belegung von Modulen
Concerns/Category:
Sie stehen kurz vor dem Abschluss eines Bachelorstudiums mit technischen, betriebswirtschaftlichen und integrativen Inhalten und sind noch unsicher ob Sie entweder ein Masterstudium anschließen oder direkt eine berufspraktische Tätigkeit aufnehmen sollen ? Aber warum „entweder … oder …“ und nicht „sowohl … als auch …“ ? Der Masterstudiengang „Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen - Digital Engineering & Management“ (MWI) wird auch im Teilzeit-Modell angeboten. Dadurch können Sie Ihren Workload pro Semester deutlich reduzieren und parallel z.B. intensiv als Werkstudent/in arbeiten. Und eventuell ergibt sich aus Ihrer berufspraktischen Tätigkeit ja sogar ein passendes Thema für ein sog. Praxisprojekt (kann eines von vier Wahlpflichtmodulen ersetzen) und/oder die Abschlussarbeit. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Homepage des Studiengangs (https://www.oth-aw.de/studium/studienangebote/studiengaenge/master/wirtschaftsingenieurwesen).
Option 2 für Studierende der OTH Amberg-Weiden: Sollten Sie evtl. einzelne Prüfungsleistungen (z.B. Bachelorarbeit) Ihres Bachelorstudiums nicht rechtzeitig vor Semesterbeginn des Masterstudiums abschließen können, dann gibt es unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen die Möglichkeit, trotzdem bereits einige Vorlesungen des Master MWI vorab zu belegen.
Bei Fragen zu diesen Optionen oder allgemein zum Master MWI können Sie sich gerne an den Studiengangsleiter Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Kummetsteiner wenden (g.kummetsteiner
@oth-aw.de).Bewerbungen für das WiSe 26/27 sind noch bis 31.08.2026 möglich.
