Materials Science and Technology

Do you want to invent materials with innovative properties?

As a graduate in materials science and materials technology from Leoben, you can unleash your pioneering spirit in any branch of industry. Whether it's energy-saving materials for the automotive industry, aerospace, innovations for pollutant-free energy conversion and storage, flexible electronics or 3D-printed bioimplants, after completing your studies
you will be creating new materials for the challenges of tomorrow.

For example, you can pursue a career as a materials scientist, plastics engineer or lightweight construction engineer.

How do we create materials that drive us forward? Faster, further, higher and more sustainably?

In the versatile Bachelor's programme in Materials Science and Materials Technology, you will take a closer look at metals, ceramics and plastics in materials engineering, testing and processing. In the Do-it Labs, you can apply your newly acquired knowledge and solve novel problems from a technical and materials science perspective.

Afterwards, you will either delve into the depths of atoms or explore the entire spectrum of plastics engineering, from raw materials to processing to the final product. This will enable you to innovate lightweight and energy-efficient materials and intelligent plastics for the future, for example for cars, aeroplanes, medical technology or 5G technology.
