Introduction
Einzigartiges Masterstudium im Bereich Werkstoff- und Produktionstechnik
The economical, ecological, sustainable and targeted use of materials and their efficient processing represent a key competitive factor for Austrian industry. In view of the increasing quality requirements in production and the use of new materials, there is an increasing need for skilled workers who are familiar with the specific requirements for processing and applying these materials. The required quality of many products can only be achieved through appropriate processing techniques and their specific effects on the material properties.

Practice and research during studies
The central component of this master's program is the implementation of R&D project work throughout all semesters at the university or directly in industrial companies. Lectures and exercises are held two days a week, the rest of the time is available for project work. The students gain a deep insight into R&D and learn to carry it out independently.
