Process Management and Resource Efficiency Landshut University of Applied Sciences

The Master’s programme in Process Management and Resource Efficiency combines innovative management approaches with technical expertise to make industrial processes more efficient, sustainable and future-ready. Students develop key competencies in process optimisation, lean management, project management, digitalisation, quality management, energy efficiency and sustainability.

The programme focuses on a holistic approach to production and business processes – from analysing existing workflows and reducing waste to developing sustainable and innovative solutions. Methods such as agile project management, Six Sigma, value analysis and process controlling are taught and applied in a practical context.

Through the close integration of theory and practice at Hochschule Landshut and the Technology Centre for Production and Logistics Systems (TZ PULS) in Dingolfing, students gain hands-on experience in a realistic learning and demonstration factory and work on current challenges from industry and business.

The programme prepares graduates to manage complex transformation processes, use resources efficiently and support companies in achieving greater sustainability, innovation and competitiveness.

The Process Management and Resource Efficiency degree programme has a standard duration of five semesters. In the first three semesters, you will take part in seminars from the module areas of business administration, technology, practice and integration. In the fourth and fifth semesters, you will write your Master's thesis, in which you will work intensively and in detail on answering a scientific question related to your degree programme. 

Each semester includes one to two on-campus weeks with practical modules conducted at the learning and demonstration factory TZ PULS or at campus Landshut. The rest of the semester consists of online study, including virtual courses according to the lecture timetable and self-study.
