Career Prospects
The course’s solid coverage of business matters means graduates of this course will demonstrate the same level of ability in these areas as a straight business graduate. Industrial engineers are traditionally employed in industry.
They are typically involved with the process functions of product development and marketing, like purchasing and inventory management, production and sales/ customer consulting as well as company-wide fields like organisation management, personnel, data processing, logistics, accounting/controlling, and quality and environmental management. Industrial engineering graduates who complete an international course will have double the competitive advantage in these increasingly globalised specialist fields and functions. The ever burgeoning costs and the hunger for profits of transnational and technologically orientated service companies - working in anything from traffic management, communications, energy production and supply, to water supply and sanitation – mean the demand for industrial engineers who have completed this course is also increasing. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary strengths of industrial engineers make them particularly suited for the large and expanding field of management consultancy.
