Master of Science in Sustainable Materials Engineering

In this Master's programme you acquire thorough knowledge about the production and recycling processes and the structure-performance relationships of materials. The programme covers a spectrum of materials, ranging from metals and polymers, to textiles and composites. Sustainability aspects are incorporated throughout the programme, for example through developing circular production processing, increasing energy efficiency and material innovation. Graduates are in high demand in the industry, public service and scientific research

EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)

The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).

EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
