FORMAT magazine, Universum Talent Research, trendence Graduate Barometer).

First year of common studiesThe study courses are based on the value-added lifecycle, starting with the exploration and extracti-on of raw materials, followed by fields such as me-tallurgy, high-performance materials, process- and production engineering, and complemented by en-vironmental engineering and recycling. Montanuni-versität Leoben is strongly committed to integrating the concept of sustainability into the value-added cycle. The range of studies is complimented by mul-tidisciplinary fields such as Industrial Energy Tech-nology and Industrial Logistics. The first year of studies, as an introductory phase for guidance and orientation, is almost the same for all students. As a result, students can switch study pro-

grammes seamlessly at the end of the first year wi-thout losing any time. In these first two semesters, particular attention is given to the basic subjects, and all first-year students are brought to a uniform academic level. In the beginning the curriculum co-vers the following subjects: physics, mathematics, computer applications and programming, chemistry, and mechanics. These courses are held in German.

Available degreesAll courses grant a Bachelor of Science degree after seven semesters. This is followed by a more in-depth Masters course (four semesters, depending on the programme) and a subsequent Masters thesis. Upon successful completion of their graduate studies, stu-dents receive the academic title of “Diplomingeni-eur“, which is equivalent to the qualification of a Master of Science. Afterwards, students can opt for a doctoral degree (six semesters). During their studies, all students are required to complete a six-month internship at a company that is relevant to their fields of studies.

Added-value for the future

The entire (material) culture of human beings is based on raw materials and the processing of these into products. People‘s hunger for raw materials continues to grow, with estimates in-dicating that consumption will at least double over the next 30 years. The implications of this growing consumption of materials are huge, especially in an ecological sense, making it all the more im-portant to handle raw materials carefully and to increase energy and resource efficiency. The first step towards this is to continually improve the methods used to locate, extract and process raw materials. Montanuniver-sität has been leading the way in this area since it was founded in 1840 by Archduke Johann. The development of new technologies used here requires many new materials. Leoben‘s material scientists develop new kinds of materials which can withstand extremely heavy use and, for ex-ample, coatings which extend the lifespan of aeroplane parts.

The ongoing success of these synthetic materials is ensured by their many advantages – they are light, versatile and in the fu-ture will also be biogenic. Mechanical engineering at the Mon-tanuniversität is focused on optimising the use of these different materials. All processes along the value added cycle are con-nected to the use of energy and transport; lecturers and students of Industrial Energy Technology and Industrial Logistics research the optimisation of these. Industrial Environmental Protection focuses on minimising the impact of side effects on the environment during production. The residual waste which accrues over the course of production and at the end of service lives was always taken to landfill in the past. Industry and society is now rethinking this, however: What used to be considered waste can now be regarded as a secondary raw material and can flow back into the product cycle.

Students explore a wide variety of subjects and may pursue one of the following focus areas: Mining, Geotechnology und Tunnelling and Raw Materials and Energy Systems. Geotechnical exploration, planning and installing of underground structures (e. g. mines, tunnels) as well as surface and subsurface extraction of mine-ral resources will be discussed. Students learn about important safety issues, the heavy machinery used for mining and tunnelling, and how to plan, mana-ge and calculate costs for such large-scale projects. Students receive hands-on training in the geotech-nical lab and at "Zentrum am Berg (ZaB)“, a unique underground research centre that allows for rese-

arch in a real-life setting. Sustainability is of great importance to the industry, thus the recultivation of former mining sites is also part of the curriculum. Due to the international nature of the course, Eng-lish is the primary language of instruction.

Masters Course Raw Materials EngineeringHow does a massive block of stone turn into fine ce-ment powder? Which building materials can tolerate temperatures as high as 1,400 degree Celsius in a blast furnace? One focus area of the Masters course is the proces-sing of mineral resources into high-quality materials by means of physical and chemical processes. Besides processing primary resources (e. g. ore, salt, coal etc.), the processing and recycling of electronic waste, slag, or material excavated from tunnels is gaining im-portance as energy and resources can be conserved. Furthermore, students learn about characteristics, the production and application of building materials (e. g. refractories for blast furnaces, ceramics, glass, cement, etc.)

What can I expect after my studies?Mineral Resources Engineers lead mining operations in Austria and all over the world, are highly sought after as tunnel construction experts, work on the pro-duction of refractory materials, construction materi-als, glass and ceramics and refine raw materials into high-tech materials.

Materials Science

I nnovative materials can change the world. Ideas can only be realised if suitable modern materi-als are developed, no matter whether this means

highly heat-resistant components for exploring ou-ter space, self-cleaning surfaces that mirror nature or bio-compatible implants for the human body. Climate protection also comes down to selecting the right materials. By using intelligent materials, you can achieve maximum effects with minimal use of raw materials and energy. For example, in materials science you can develop coatings for car or plane components that cause less friction and resistance, thereby saving fuel and CO2.Materials engineers also test materials.

Polymer Engineering and Science

O ne material has truly come to the fore in every area of life in recent years: plastic. Without plastic, there would be no compu-

ters, smartphones or functional sports clothing. Polymers has revolutionised medical technology and allowed us to build lighter and more energy-ef-ficient vehicles. Its processing versatility and wide range of properties is like no other material. Plastic truly deserves to be known as the "21st century ma-terial“.Plastic greentastic: Plastics and environmental pro-tection are not a contradiction in terms. Quite the opposite: Polymeric materials help save energy and have a better eco-balance than many other mate-rials. If you replaced all polymeric materials in the EU with other suitable materials, total energy re-quirements would go up by 57 percent. Polymers are also environmentally friendly in terms of service life. Over 50 percent of the polymeric material used in Austria are recyclable and the rest can be converted into energy via thermal recycling.

What skills and interests do I need?Have you always wanted to know how a smartphone was made? Do you wonder what stresses plastics in aeroplanes can cope with? Curiosity and interest are the most vital require-ments for studying polymer engineering. The key to success in this technical course is not being afraid of technology and the natural science, whether you enrolled in these courses during your high school years.

What can I expect during my studies?The first general year will help students build up a solid technical basis. In the following semesters, students will learn all about the fascinating world of plastics. Depending on their field of interest, students can then choose to expand their knowledge in a specific field. Whether they decide to study the chemistry of polymers, how to create polymers and compo-sites, polymer processing, injection moulding for polymers, composites processing or working with and testing polymeric materials, the Polymer Engi-neering course at Montanuniversität Leoben can be tailored to suit them.

What can I expect after my studies?Leoben‘s polymer engineering graduates are highly-sought after in the industry. Many graduate students receive job offers even before they have finished their studies, which puts them in the unique situa-tion to be able to choose one out of many job offers from domestic as well as international companies. The course of study is extremely broad and compre-hensive, and so are the fields of activity for polymer engineers. They range from micro- and nanotech-nology, aviation and aerospace to mechanical en-gineering, sports equipment, electrical engineering and electronics. Particularly in the automotive industry, polymer and composite materials are essential. Over the past few years, the use of polymeric materials has also been increasing rapidly in the field of medical engineering and alternative energy production.In a nutshell: Leoben polymer engineers look for-ward to a bright future with interesting job oppor-tunities around the globe.

Metallurgy

H ave you used a mobile phone, drunk from a can or ridden a bike today? Then welcome to the world of metallurgy!

Metals are used in every area of our daily lives. This course is therefore particularly diverse and exten-sive: from the extraction of metals from ore to the development and innovative moulding of a product, metallurgy covers a lot of different processes. One particular focus is recycling: scrap metal and reco-vered valuable metals are processed into new pro-ducts, in order to protect resources and save energy. The Montanuniversität metallurgists can therefore use their knowledge to make a fundamental contri-bution to the prosperity and progress of our society.

What skills and interests do I need?Metallurgists are literally bursting with creativity. They design products and find innovative solutions to make production processes both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. You need to have a pas-sion for technology and natural science – particular-ly mathematics and chemistry – as well as enjoying analytical and interdisciplinary thinking.

What can I expect during my studies? Metallurgy is an extremely diverse science – buil-ding on the principles you learn in the first four semesters, you then go into greater depth in the following areas:

� Ferrous and steel metallurgy: Iron is the heaviest metal by weight and is used for many purposes, often as the ferrous alloy steel. You will look at iron extraction and material development for cars, medical technology, the construction of a skyscraper and much more. � Non-ferrous metallurgy: This module deals with the extraction, processing and materials engineering of metals such as aluminium, copper, zinc and high-tech materials such as titanium, magnesium, rare earths and desirable precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. These are essential for the manufacturing of compu-ters, smartphones or hybrid cars. � Foundry technology: Metals are processed to form end products via various foundry proce-dures. The aim is to produce a high-quality, flawless cast part. Quality is the decisive factor

for a product‘s service life and is extremely important in many sectors, e.g. the aerospace or automotive industries. �Metal forming comprises a number of production processes in which metals are rendered into ano-ther form with e. g. a uniform micro structure of only a few grams or even up to a hundred tons. � Simulation of metallurgical process allows you to optimise processes, develop new production methods (and avoiding expensive tests), and manage future processes and process chains. � Industrial management: Metallurgists not only need technical knowledge, but also need to understand business so that they can master industrial business issues and management tasks.

In addition, the course focuses on fields such as combustion technology, high temperature and heat technology as well as environmental technology.

What can I expect after my studies?Typical activities range from the development of new procedures, materials and products to the plan-ning of production plants or the optimisation of business or energy processes. Leoben graduates are in demand all over the world in both management and research. The course is unique in Austria, which makes graduates highly sought after in industry and business.

Metallurgy is the science of the development, manufacture, and processing of

metallic materials from the technical processing, economical, and ecological

points of view. This also includes the further processing into components and

process integrated recycling.

Available Degrees:BSc (210 ECTS), Dipl.-Ing./MSc (120 ECTS), Dr.mont./PhD (180 ECTS)

Focus:Primary and secondary extraction of metals,sustained process development, down streamprocessing, and materials technology of metals
