During the course of the three-semester programme, we will provide you with a practical, natural, or engineering science-based advanced education with a range of options to choose from.

The aim is to broaden your knowledge of materials and to learn how to work in a scientific manner. Alongside specialist knowledge from across the entire technical materials field, you will also learn in-depth content from complementary fields, e.g. production technology and planning or business administration with cost accounting. As a result, our active and comprehensive degree programme will thoroughly prepare you for the challenges that you will face during your career and will guarantee a high degree of professional flexibility.
