The Institute of Iron and Steel Technology

Steel is completely recyclable and a driver of the energy transition, decarbonisation and electromobility.

The by-products of the steel industry are:

• smelter gases,
• slag,
• dust.

These by-products are therefore important secondary raw materials for various branches of industry, such as the construction materials and chemical industries.

At the institute, essential questions regarding the ongoing transformation of the steel industry are answered through current research activities, thus contributing to:

• resource conservation,
• raw material independence
• and climate neutrality.

The core skills taught during the degree programme, internships, but also industry semesters and the opportunity to write an external dissertation in a steel company help to ensure that theprofessional entry after graduation can be completely successful.
