Two departments – one study programme

The SMART MATERIALS study programmes are organised by the departments Polymer Engineering and Science and Materials Science.

BACHELOR'S PROGRAMMES

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.
