Two departments – one study programme
The SMART MATERIALS study programmes are organised by the departments Polymer Engineering and Science and Materials Science.
Bachelor's programme Materials Science and Technology (MaWiTech)
In the Bachelor's programme, the two disciplines Werkstoffwissenschaft und Kunststofftechnik were combined into the joint programme Materials Science and Technology. Starting in the third semester, you can then specialise in one of these areas by choosing a branch of study or gain international experience at our partner university in Nancy, France, as part of the European School of Materials.
Bachelor's programme Kunststofftechnik (expiring)
In the Bachelor's programme in Polymer Engineering and Science, you will learn the fundamentals of the manufacture, processing and application of polymers. You will acquire comprehensive knowledge in areas such as polymer chemistry, polymer processing techniques, material and component design, and materials science and testing. The programme offers you a practice-oriented approach to developing innovative solutions in the plastics industry.
PLEASE NOTE: It is no longer possible to enrol for the Bachelor's programme in Kunststofftechnik.
Bachelor's programme Werkstoffwissenschaft (expiring)
In the Bachelor's programme in Materials Science, you will learn the fundamentals of materials science: the curriculum covers metals and their alloys, ceramic materials, glasses, but also polymers, composite materials and functional materials. The main topics are the understanding of solid materials, the testing of materials and modern methods of investigation and analysis.
PLEASE NOTE: It is no longer possible to enrol for the Bachelor's programme in Werkstoffwissenschaft.
MASTER'S PROGRAMMES
European School of Materials (EEIGM)
EEIGM is a French engineering school affiliated with the University of Lorraine. It offers a five-year study programme (equivalent to a diploma in France) offered by seven universities in the EU (including universities in Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, France and Austria).
MASTER'S PROGRAMMES
Werkstoffwissenschaft
(expiring)
The Master's programme in Materials Science builds on the Bachelor's programme and deepens your knowledge of the analysis, development and processing of materials. It offers you the opportunity to specialise in specific areas such as nanotechnology, metals, ceramics or functional materials.
PLEASE NOTE: It is no longer possible to enrol for the master's programme Werkstoffwissenschaft.
MASTER'S PROGRAMMES
Kunststofftechnik
(expiring)
The Master's programme in Kunststofftechnik builds on the knowledge gained in the Bachelor's programme and focuses on advanced topics in polymer technology, polymer processing and application. You will learn to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions for industry, for example in the areas of sustainability and new materials.
PLEASE NOTE: It is no longer possible to enrol for the Master's programme Kunststofftechnik.
