All lessons are taught entirely in English. Also the Master’s thesis must be submitted in English.
The Master’s programme in Metallic Materials Technology (MMT) at TU Freiberg equips students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in the field of metallic materials. Whether you have a background in mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline, this programme offers a unique opportunity to specialise in cutting-edge technologies that are driving innovation in automotive, aerospace, green energy, and advanced manufacturing industries.
Join a diverse international community, deepen your expertise, and position yourself for a successful career in materials engineering.
The MMT programme builds upon a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, or metallurgy and aims to provide students with advanced expertise in metallic materials. The curriculum focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects, combining technical skills with a scientific approach to solving real-world challenges.
Students can tailor their studies by choosing from four specialisations (see Course organisation), each designed to provide in-depth knowledge and industry-relevant skills. The programme is conducted entirely in English, attracting a diverse and international student body.
The MMT programme usually starts in the summer semester.
The curriculum is designed to provide students with...
In the first semester, students receive an overview of the fundamentals of materials science and materials engineering.
From the second semester onwards, students have to choose one of four specialisations:
A 12-week industrial internship is required for this degree programme. It is recommended to complete or partially complete the internship before the degree programme. However, missing internship periods can also be completed during the degree programme, e.g. during the lecture-free periods until the topic of the Master's thesis is issued. The internship can be completed in different companies (materials technology, materials science, metallurgy, or related fields). The certificates must show which activities have been carried out.
107 EUR per semester
Bachelor's degree (at least six semesters) or equivalent degree in a degree course in the fields of metallurgy, materials engineering or a related discipline
Industrial Internship
Qualification assessment procedure
Candidate's Profile: MMT is open to students who wish to upgrade their knowledge in engineering science, specialised in metal forming, foundry technology, non-ferrous metallurgy, or steel production. The programme is designed to attract students from different fields of science and engineering to create an interdisciplinary environment and enable teamwork between scientists and engineers.
Part-time employment on campus (e.g. student assistant, canteen) as well as in town (e.g. in supermarkets, cafés, restaurants)
Different kinds of accommodation are available on campus and in the city of Freiberg. The average monthly rent for a room in the student halls of residence, including utilities, is 290 EUR. The most common form of accommodation is the shared flat. Each student has their own room, with the bathroom and kitchen shared.
A separate online application is required to apply for accommodation in the student halls of residence. The recommended time to submit this is three months before the start of the semester.
