Master Engineering: What are the biggest disadvantages of the program?

After completing the Master Engineering UAS (Master of Science) degree, you will be able to apply the necessary methodological and management skills to further develop not only new products or services, but also processes and organizations.

The main disadvantages of a "Master Engineering UAS degree program" are:

1. The duration of study of approx. three years part-time or approx. one and a half years full-time requires a high level of time commitment and a high degree of self-discipline and motivation.
2. In addition to a precise way of working, organizational talent and planning skills are required for Master Engineering. The ability to manage staff and work in a team as well as to develop, implement and control projects is also required. Do you have all this?
3. Despite cantonal contributions, you will need to budget around CHF 2,900 to CHF 9,500 for the entire Master Engineering UAS program, depending on the school. Added to this are the costs for materials and teaching aids.
4. In addition to technical and scientific knowledge, the course also teaches theoretical principles such as higher mathematics, physics, information theory and chemistry. However, additional skills from areas such as technology management, business administration, communication, project management, patent law, contract law, etc. are also important course contents. This diversity can be a challenge for some students.

Master of Science in Engineering graduates work as specialists and managers in industry or the public sector. They specialize in research and development departments, in production, in logistics or in consulting. They are qualified to manage interdisciplinary projects. The MSE (Master Engineering) enables you to work in research as well as in a variety of sectors such as aerospace, the automotive industry, microtechnology, the manufacturing industry, the food industry and public administration.
