Inorganic engineering materials such as steel and ceramics cover all strategic industrial sectors and are key materials for the transport sector, energy technology, mechanical and plant engineering, and the construction industry. A precise understanding of the mechanical, thermal, chemical, and functional properties at nano, micro, and macro levels as well as the chemical and physical interactions at the interfaces of inorganic engineering materials is an unlimited tool for their continuous development and technological optimization.

In the first semester, core modules are held on metallic, ceramic, and refractory materials, thermodynamics and mechanics of materials as well as training in particle technology and fluid dynamics. This is followed in the second and third semesters by in-depth modules and further training in the technology and application of materials and the simulation of metallurgical processes. In addition, students learn to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-life applications in laboratory and practical courses. The fourth semester is reserved for the Master's thesis
