About the Program

The program is interdisciplinary and focuses on the production, characterisation and knowledge-based further development of structural and functional materials in the laboratory and in nature. The importance of material cycles and resource efficiencies will also be taught, as well as approaches to solving the resulting scientific and engineering challenges. The degree program provides an insight into the current methods of material production and material characterisation and introduces a broad spectrum of technical application possibilities. Students are familiar with state-of-the-art methods of manufacturing, processing and characterising structural and functional materials, know current areas of application and trends and can conduct both basic and applied research in these areas. This Joint Degree Master's program is offered jointly by Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS) and Technical University of Munich (TUM). Graduates have professional opportunities in the chemical industry, construction industry, biotechnology, medical technology, energy and environmental technology, electrical and electronics industry, vehicle and aircraft industry, and research at universities and scientific institutes.
