Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is safe and fine.
I am right now preparing for my GMAT so that I can get into a good masters program I would like some help regarding which school should I choose.
I want to get into Hardware product management (hardware side of PM not software) in big tech companies after my masters. What schools should I choose, which programs are best for this path?

Thank you in advance. Also all the best regardless of where they are in their journey.

Getting a job after a master is surely your own destiny, but yes college brand name will definitely give you a needed push.
I don't exactly know whether there is a separate Master for hardware engineering, but if it comes under Electrical and electronic engineering or Computer Science. you can refer to the following links
https://www.topuniversities.com/univers ... on-systems
https://www.topuniversities.com/univers ... electronic

But, rankings just make 1 part of the whole college decision. Your decision will be influenced by a hundred other factors, so keep that in mind. Plus there is nothing as good school will land you a great job or somewhat lower ranking school will leave you jobless. getting Job is your own efforts, there is no college placement abroad.
Good luck. :)

Thank you so much for the reply, really apricate it.
I am well aware of the fact that getting a job is depended on many factors and I can get a really good job from low tier program with the help of good skills, I asked it because I saw someone's post here saying that you should match your goal with your program, for example most people from Insead go to consulting so anyone looking to get into consulting should keep Insead in mind, so is there any school that is famous for product management. Also I thought product management is sort of a business field as many MBA and MiM pass out get into that after their program (also seen in man B schools placement report). And most of the time PM's are managing teams rather than engaging in products built up. But now that I think of it, it does make sense to go through engineering path for hardware specifically, maybe I can do some more research and see some other fields of Interest :D :think:
thank you again.

Actually, I was also confused seeing hardware and project management altogether. Project management master is does offered at business schools. But I am unsure whether they teach computer engineering with project management. you can be a project manager while having a computer engineering degree. but you can't always be a hardware computer engineer with Project management masters unless you studied bachelors in CE. do confirm this thing out.

Yes for sure, right now I am trying to research about all my interest and PM happens to be one of them (I don't want to get into a program that has nothing to do with my aspired field, just because it is good ranked). I have attended some seminars for wannabe product managers and most of them said you only need basic tech knowledge rather then an full blown engineering degree to get into PM 9 (I am very interested in tech and know a lot about it so it felt natural to go into PM). But now I will also look into my other interest and look into them.
