Sustainable Materials Engineering B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

Around 70 percent of all technical innovations are based on newly developed materials. The topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly important in this context. The Sustainable Materials Engineering degree programme enables students to be part of a sustainable society and to contribute to the decarbonization and modernization of industry while also offering them excellent job prospects.

Faculty: Division of Materials Science and Engineering in the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering  |  Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German- and English-taught  |  Intake: Winter Semester  |  Location: Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

The fact that engineers are increasingly working in management or in positions with project responsibility is already taken into account during their studies through additional subjects from areas such as languages, project management or business administration. Non-technical subjects can be chosen from a fixed catalog or individual subjects.

Career pathways

The career prospects are excellent for materials engineers. Job offers outnumber graduates, because they studied in an exclusive, engineering niche.
