About the Program
The Master's program in Metallurgy and Metal Forming is part of the International Studies in Engineering (ISE) program. It aims to deepen and expand the scientific qualification acquired through a previous Bachelor's degree by extending specialized knowledge and practicing more specialized methods. The Master's examination forms a second professional qualification within the consecutive ISE study program, significantly expanding career prospects compared to a Bachelor's degree. The program prepares graduates for the global job market or research and development in an international context. The program is particularly attractive to international students as this specialized course doesn't exist in many parts of the world. Duisburg offers a unique concentration of metallurgical and metal forming companies, providing an exceptional combination of theoretical depth and industrial practice. The program is also in high demand from major steel companies at the location, such as Arcelor Mittal and ThyssenKruppSteel, which are interested in recruiting qualified engineering talent. Career prospects include leadership positions in steel plants and metal forming operations, as well as research in materials technology, resource extraction, and quality assurance.
