Contents

International Maintenance Management is a broad-based, practice-oriented programme and offers international career opportunities. You will be trained to become a Maintenance professional. The programme comprises three important areas of expertise.

Technology

Technology naturally forms an important part of the programme, because maintenance professionals work with the most complex technical systems. During the programme, you will study among other things how to:

* * Design maintenance procedures
* Cope with technical specifications
* Make reliable predictions on operating life and replacement questions
* Gauge safety risks

* * Management processes and execution
* Quality control, legislation and regulations
* Managing material and information flows
* Planning, budgeting and cost analyses
* Logistical issues



Communication and Management
Maintenance is teamwork. For this reason we devote considerable attention to:

* * Management and leadership
* International business cultures and change management
* Ergonomics and health and safety
* Communication and project management



International scope

Maintenance professionals work in an international environment. To prepare you thoroughly for this:

All lectures are in English

Coorperation with the Business Community
