About this programme
Materials are key enablers for nearly all technological processes. From the Stone Age through the Bronze Age and the Iron Age to the Modern Age, new material classes exhibiting superior properties have defined eras in human development. This does not only include technological progress, but it also directly affects the economic, ecological, and social development of human mankind. Current technological challenges of high relevance include power generation from renewable sources, e-mobility, and CO2 reduction, to name but a few. The major barrier for technological breakthrough in these fields is the lack of suitable materials meeting the technological demands on their property profile, for example: Large-scale power generation: lack of suitable materials withstanding the high operating temperatures and corrosive attack Electric mobility: lack of battery materials offering high electric capacity with a small ecological footprint Hydrogen-powered heavy industries: lack of suitable H2 capture and storage solutions due to the high mobility of hydrogen Direct CO2 and conversion: lack of suitable catalytic materials The international Master's programme in Materials Engineering at RWTH Aachen University aims at addressing the above mentioned challenges by offering a broad study programme in the field of materials science and engineering. This includes the entire materials development process starting with materials design on the atomic scale all the way to the construction of bulk co
