Engineering and Materials Science

The optimal use of materials and the development of new ones are essential to develop products that meet increasing demands in terms of performance, functionality, and sustainability. Students of the Joint Degree Bachelor’s degree program in Engineering and Materials Science (B.Sc.) at the Technical University of Munich and the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg learn to investigate, develop, and use innovative materials in line with these requirements.

The program has a strong interdisciplinary focus. It combines subjects from physics, chemistry, materials science, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Students acquire the fundamentals of natural sciences and learn how to transfer them to various applications. In particular, they deal with the investigation and analysis of different materials to identify and utilize the potential of new materials for lighter, more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and safer construction methods. They use modern investigation and analysis methods, such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, as well as innovative methods in additive manufacturing, circular economy concepts, battery technology, or hydrogen technology. In addition, they can develop individual competence profiles in chemistry and physics of materials, energy and process technology, mechanical engineering, nature-inspired materials, and general materials.

Graduates of the degree program have a sound knowledge of materials science and natural sciences, which they can apply particularly at the interface between materials technology tasks and the various fields of application in engineering. They are, therefore, just as well qualified to start a career in the industry as they are to continue their education in a corresponding Master’s degree program.
