Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The Joint Degree Bachelor's degree program in Engineering and Materials Science (B.Sc.) at the Technical University of Munich and the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg focuses on the optimal use of materials and the development of new ones to meet increasing demands in performance, functionality, and sustainability. The program has a strong interdisciplinary focus, combining subjects from physics, chemistry, materials science, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Students acquire fundamentals of natural sciences and learn to transfer them to various applications. They deal with investigation and analysis of different materials to identify and utilize the potential of new materials for lighter, more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and safer construction methods. Students use modern investigation and analysis methods such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, as well as innovative methods in additive manufacturing, circular economy concepts, battery technology, or hydrogen technology. They can develop individual competence profiles in chemistry and physics of materials, energy and process technology, mechanical engineering, nature-inspired materials, and general materials.
