Programme structure

The economic, ecological and targeted use of materials and their efficient processing represent an essential competitive factor for Austrian industry. In view of the increasing quality requirements in production and the use of new materials, more and more skilled workers are needed who are familiar with the specific requirements in processing and using them Materials are familiar. The required quality of many products can only be achieved through appropriate processing techniques and their special effects on the material properties. Specific and coordinated processing methods make it possible to combine the desired functional and structural properties of products.

Focus of the training

The master’s course specializes in joining technology, lightweight construction and processing technology . Three elective groups are offered in the course: “ Plastics processing “, “ Metallic materials – steel “ or “ Metallic materials – light metals “. Specialization in one of these directions is necessary due to the breadth and complexity of the subject areas.

In Austria, no comparable training is offered as a FH degree. The concept and content of the “Materials Science & Manufacturing Technology” master’s course is therefore a unique specialist course!
