MSc Technology and Application of Inorganic Engineering Materials at TU Bergakademie Freiberg

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.
