Around 500 foundries in Germany supply the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering with high-quality cast components. No wind turbine or motor vehicle would move without cast parts. Even many small parts, such as those required for precision mechanics or medical technology, are cast. Casting is the fastest way from material to component. Foundry engineers provide engineering support throughout the entire process - from simulation calculations, preparation of the liquid metal, casting, solidification of the molten metal and subsequent further processing of the casting. You will be responsible for production as well as being involved in material selection and product development. 

If you are interested in mathematical, scientific and technical issues in the metal industry and especially in their direct implementation in practice, this degree programme offers solid training in a sought-after profession. Here, material science and technological knowledge of foundry engineering is taught in an application-orientated way. In addition, the industrial internship and the external Bachelor's thesis provide the desired and necessary practical relevance by familiarising students with modern companies and technologies.
