About the Program
A Master in Material Sciences and Industrial Heritage Conservation (MEIHC) focuses on materials science as a cross-sectional discipline in engineering that accompanies products throughout their entire life span. The program emphasizes sustainability aspects, including materials produced using renewable energies and new manufacturing technologies. Students can choose between two majors: Industrial Heritage Conservation and Material Engineering. The research-oriented modules are offered in cooperation with the Zollverein Foundation at the UNESCO heritage site and the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum. The program prepares graduates to develop technical comprehension of damages caused by aging, tear, wear, and corrosion, and to assess these regarding their cultural dimension and impact.
