Advanced Materials Science and Engineering, AMASE

(EN)

Shaping the Future of Materials Engineering

The Master's program in Advanced Materials Science and Engineering (AMASE) offers you a unique opportunity to study materials science and engineering in an international environment. Benefit from the collaboration between six renowned universities, including Montanuniversität Leoben. By studying at two universities, you will not only gain in-depth technical knowledge but also acquire valuable intercultural and linguistic skills.

What to expect from the study programme?

The program is divided into two phases: the Adaptation Phase and the Specialisation Phase. 
 

During the Adaptation Phase (1st semester), you will cover core modules such as:

  • Fundamentals of material structure and properties
  • Analysis and characterization of materials
  • Materials technologies and processing
     

In the subsequent Specialization Phase (2nd and 3rd semesters), you can focus on one of four cutting-edge fields:

  • Advanced metallic materials and alloys
  • Polymers and composite materials
  • Smart surfaces and functional materials
  • Advanced manufacturing and processing technologies

Additionally, modules in transversal skills provide essential interdisciplinary competences. The program concludes with a Master’s thesis.

What are your career opportunities?

Graduates of the AMASE program are highly qualified for a wide range of career opportunities, including:

  • Development and optimization of materials with enhanced mechanical, chemical, or functional properties
  • Material-oriented design and manufacturing of machinery, components, and functional systems
  • Quality control, failure analysis, and lifetime prediction of materials
  • Research and development in emerging fields such as nanotechnology, medical engineering, or sustainable material utilization

The combination of academic excellence, intercultural competence, and multilingual education makes you a sought-after expert in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
