In the 21st century, new materials are an essential prerequisite for technical progress and economic growth. New findings from materials science are driving the development of innovative products and processes in all industries. The master's degree in "Materials Science and Technology" prepares students specifically for these challenges by integrating materials science and process engineering into this engineering degree. In addition, you can deepen your material knowledge in three focal points, which you can freely choose from the following five areas: lightweight materials, materials for energy technology, high-temperature materials, metals and polymers. This novel training profile enables students to
Who is the course aimed at?
The master's degree in "Materials Science and Technology" is aimed at students who are striving for in-depth engineering education, who have a keen interest in material science issues and who are striving for a responsible position in companies, research institutes or universities.
Engineers of the future
In personal contact with their lecturers and in small teams, the students are introduced to current issues from engineering and materials science and are familiarized with future-oriented approaches. You will acquire specialist knowledge in the following areas in particular: process engineering and materials technology, electrical engineering materials, material properties as well as simulation and analysis. A material science specialization takes place through the occupation of three of the offered focus areas lightweight materials, materials for energy technology, high temperature materials, metals and polymers. With this option and other compulsory electives, students can design their master’s degree individually.
Career prospects
