Deep understanding & practical experience

"At HECTOR School they weren´t only speaking about the possible technologies, they had the experts and the cases in which we really gained practical experience. In the lectures, we got to know the current state of technology but also the outlook into future in both aspects: technology wise and economically."

- Sangram Savant, graduate of Energy Engineering Management

Intensive exchange with fellow students

"I very much appreciate the intensive exchange with fellow students, who come from other companies. Since the master’s degree is based on current topics and practice-oriented, and since we have many case studies as an integral part, we are offered many valuable opportunities to learn from other industries and occupational fields and to compare notes with each other."

- Larisa Espejo, graduate of Information Systems Engineering and Management

Incredibly productive community

"I particularly like the split of attendance into 2-week module blocks, combined with the ability to live right on campus while completing the semesters. This creates – together with the other, partly international students – an incredibly productive community. Added to this is the experienced organization of the HECTOR School staff. [...] Particularly noteworthy is the high qualification of the lecturers in their fields – it is inspiring to learn from people of that caliber."

- Alex Kimmel, graduate of Production and Operations Management

The best professors in their fields

"I was very satisfied with the study. The courses are sufficient in terms of content and professors are one of the best in the areas. We could also meet students from totally different cultures backgrounds which made the study much more interesting. It became very important to learn how to cope with multicultural people and now I realized how helpful it was for my job now."

- Emma Liang, graduate of Financial Engineering

Comprehensive responsibility in general management

"My studies have paved the way for me from purely business-related work contents to comprehensive responsibility in general management. It was particularly important to understand the contents, methods and problems of various technical functions. This helps me today to ask the right questions and to make the right decisions."

- Stefan Oehmke, graduate of Production & Operations Management

Balance of theory and hands-on experience

"The Master’s program has two major advantages from my perspective. Firstly, its executive schedule allows me to manage work and study efficiently, striking a great balance between the two. Secondly, the program offers an exceptional level of education with valuable and practical knowledge that significantly enhances my skills and opens up promising career opportunities."

- Martin Chau, graduate of Information Systems Engineering and Management

Insights into other companies and industries

"Since our peers came from a wide variety of companies and branches, I also gained important insights into other companies and industries. [...] The experience and knowhow of the master program as well as the network support me in my daily work."

- Britta Daffner, graduate of Information Systems Engineering & Management

Reliable network

"The multicultural project and study work was a great experience. The challenges and, above all, the enrichment created by the different views of international fellow students excited me. [...] Even today, I am still in frequent contact with the Hector School, the wbk and the ifl. The master's program has created a reliable network from which we all benefit."

- Philipp Schüll, graduate of Production & Operations Management

A learning experience

"At the HECTOR School you have the opportunity to learn from a number of outstanding lecturers who are very unique in their professional quality and breadth that you can't get anywhere else. Yes - the workload is high - but it's important to regard it as a learning experience and get the most out of it. Use the interactive modules in particular and learn from them!"

- Jan Martin Spreitzenbarth, graduate of Production & Operations Management
