Metallurgy and Metal Recycling

Do you want to shape materials, high-tech and the future?

As a metallurgist, you will take on a leadership position in production, research and development, technical sales or plant engineering. Global trends such as closing material cycles, climate-neutral production of metallic materials and digital transformation require graduates for the national and international metal industry.

For example, you can pursue a career as a metallurgist, plant engineer or production manager.

How do we produce steel and machinery for high-tech applications that shape our future?

In the Bachelor's programme in Metallurgy and Metal Cycles, you will learn about the extraction, processing and shaping of metallic materials. You will learn essential casting processes for high-tech industries such as aerospace. You will also learn how to roll, bend, forge and 3D print metals. You will also learn how to recycle materials and develop innovative concepts to make production processes environmentally friendly, resource-efficient and economical.

In addition to state-of-the-art simulation processes in metallurgy, the programme will also teach you how to solve industrial challenges and develop methodological skills in the field of management.
