Tobias Schlinzig

Master – Business Administration

During his part-time Master's degree, Tobias Schlinzig focused on the added value of automation for production processes at Siemens AG. His practical project served as the basis for the introduction of new robots at a production site and even resulted in the establishment of a robotics team, which has been expanding this automation strategy ever since.

Sid Marvin Hinrich

Master – Business informatics

Sid Marvin Hinrich was way ahead of the current AI trend with his practical project in his Master's degree in Business Informatics: his project at Supper und Supper GmbH, which he completed during his studies, was a framework for product development in the field of data science. To test his concept in practice, he developed an application that uses artificial intelligence to analyze geodata.

The career-integrated Master’s degree at SMT is more than just a dual study program: with the Project Competence Program©, Steinbeis University offers you an innovative concept that optimally combines theory and practice. You will spend the majority of your Master’s degree not in seminars, but in the company – because here you can put what you learn in the theoretical phases directly into practice.

The practical project that you develop in the course of your part-time Master’s degree is not just your final thesis: by solving current problems, you also create real added value for the company. You will also remain financially independent, as you will of course receive a salary for your project work that is commensurate with your expertise as a specialist.
