What the register says
The purpose of the joint master's programme "International Master in Sustainable Materials" is to deepen the students' scientific professional education and training and to provide a scientific specialisation in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation on the basis of a predominantly technically oriented bachelor's degree programme. In particular, the programme aims to combine the highly specialised fields of metallurgy and metallurgical science with entrepreneurship, which is frequently demanded today. The desire for more internationalisation and networking is also taken into account. Due to the different combination options with regard to the choice of the universities where they want to start their studies and where they want to finish them the students are granted a high degree of flexibility.
In collaboration with the partner universities, KU Leuven and the University of Trento
