About the programme

Metallic Materials Technology (MMT) at TU Bergakademie Freiberg is a four-semester (two-year) Master's programme worth 120 ECTS, taught entirely in English with an international student body. It builds on a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering, materials science or metallurgy and gives you advanced knowledge and practical skills in metallic materials, combining technical skills with a scientific approach to real-world problems. Core subjects cover materials science, mechanical properties and manufacturing processes, plus electives and a Master's thesis on an industry challenge. You choose one of four specialisations: foundry technology, metal forming, non-ferrous metallurgy, or steel production, covering topics such as casting processes, rolling and forging, metal recycling from batteries and electronic waste, and clean, energy-efficient steelmaking. It suits engineering graduates aiming for production, quality control or process optimisation in the iron and steel, foundry or metal forming industries, or in automotive, aerospace and energy applications.
