To meet the growing challenges and opportunities in a globalized economy, the need for leaders with international perspective increases. In order to take global leadership in the dynamic world economy, knowledge in technological innovation, scientific solution spaces, comprehensive management and intercultural skills are necessary.

GPE accepts the challenge to comprehensively train engineers for work in international value chains with its program structure consisting of five modules production, engineering, management, intercultural communication and special profile. GPE promotes technical skills in engineering disciplines such as the development of manufacturing processes and tools, modelling and simulation, quality control and economic evaluation. In addition, the GPE program provides students with the ability for life-long learning in rapidly changing knowledge domains, fostering their self-initiative, decision-making skills and their ability to work in interdisciplinary and intercultural teams.

The gained knowledge and qualification through participation in the study course allows alumni to access technology-oriented companies and organizations and enables them to be entrepreneurs.

There is a high demand for GPE Students from small- and midsize companies as well as from large international corporations. The occupational areas are most often found in management and administration, mechanical and electrical engineering as well as printing technology. An indicator for the demand in a certain specialization is the offering of internships and especially Master theses. Often students receive a job offer after successfully finishing their Master thesis at a company.

GPE Alumni are especially attractive to internationally operating companies. The entrepreneurs as well as their former fellow students who work as employees especially benefit from the combination of technical oriented management education and their achieved sociocultural abilities.
