Project Manager

As a project manager with a focus on technology, you are responsible for the development of new components, for example. Among other things, you take care of the introduction of new production lines or innovative test tracks for user vehicles at a truck manufacturer, for example. You take on tasks in the areas of planning, coordination, leadership, and marketing. With the help of project management tools, you always keep an eye on performance, quality, deadlines, and costs in cooperation with your team. 

Quality Manager

As a quality manager in the technical area, you ensure that product, material, and service quality and the associated processes are constantly improved. You work to meet all customer requirements and to make the manufacturing processes efficient. To do this, you analyse potential weak points, develop solutions, and put them into practice. Within the scope of your tasks, you work closely with various specialist departments.

    Riku Luostari

    Graduate, New Zealand

  • “I chose to pursue an MBA due to its practical relevance, especially the case studies, which were particularly exciting for me. Thanks to IU’s flexibility, I was able to combine my studies with my job, where I often apply what I was learning.”
