Global Production Engineering

          Global Production Engineering is a full-time four-semester master program offered at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. The curriculum is designed for outstanding international graduate students seeking to improve their personal competence portfolio in the fields of production, management, engineering, and intercultural communication. The strong international orientation of the program can be seen in the fact that 90% of our students come from countries outside Europe. Among our student body and alumni, we count with people from more than 50 different countries of origin. The GPE master program courses are almost exclusively held in English language. 

         The GPE international master program is accredited since 2007 from the ASIIN, a special accreditation agency for the curricula of engineering sciences, computer science, natural sciences, and mathematics. This accreditation reaffirms and expands the high standards and quality of the program. 

          GPE currently offers two majors: Manufacturing and Solar Technology. The Manufacturing major was introduced at the beginning of the GPE program in 1998. The Solar Technology was founded in 2007 as a way of developing technological potential in this area of international engineering education. The strong connection between the solar industry and the research institutes in the regions of Berlin and Brandenburg brings theory and practice together in one place.

          This research-oriented education with its semi-practical application in labs, the mandatory internship and the preparation and writing of the master thesis allow students to get an early start on assuming tasks bearing responsibility and prepare them for a fruitful future career in the industry.

          In addition, the last ten years have seen the formation of a global network of alumni, where alumni exchange information and provide mutual support for each other. GPE graduates today are collaborating on challenges such as construction of new production sites, global sourcing and sales of investment goods, or in projects setting up cacao factories in Sierra Leone and manufacturing equipment for lithium ion batteries. They are employed in the manufacturing industry e.g. for automotive, electric and electronics, especially solar, machines and factory buildings, food and also in non-profit organizations, governmental institutions and research and development.
