Requirements

 

The qualification model for the DGQ-Manager Quality Junior enables students to create an important foundation on the way to becoming a DGQ/EOQ auditor while still at university.
An additional qualification is obtained, which offers a decisive advantage at the start of professional life.

Why?

In all areas of industry it has been recognized that quality is one of the decisive competitive factors. In order to establish this quality consistently and systematically in a company, it is necessary to a large extent to have employees who know the strategies, methods and interrelationships of quality management. In addition, an increasing demand of the industry for auditors who are able to evaluate the installed quality management systems independently of the structure and size of the companies is predicted in the future.

How?

You have the opportunity to deal intensively with this topic during your studies — by selecting the course offerings in a targeted manner towards quality management. For example, master students specializing in production engineering have the opportunity to obtain an additional qualification without additional time expenditure, which can give them a decisive advantage when entering professional life. The corresponding courses are also open to all students of the technical faculties of the RWTH Aachen University.

Costs?

You will incur costs of 171,20 € for the provision of documentation and issuing of the certificate by the German Society for Quality.
