Studying at the Institute of Natural Materials Technology
Based on the fundamental knowledge transfer in the first phase of the study curricula, the members of the institute primarily educate prospective engineers in Mechanical engineering, and in Process engineering and Natural materials technology.

Studying at the institute
Within the Mechanical Engineering degree programme, the Chairs of Agricultural Systems and Technology and Processing Machines and Processing Technolgy each offer a specific specialisation. On the Process Engineering and Natural Materials Engineering degree course, you can specialise in Bioprocess Engineering, Food Engineering, and Wood and Fibre Technology including Paper Technology. All of these Chairs are based at the Institute of Natural Materials Technology, which offers you a comprehensive education in these innovative and practice-orientated fields. Further information on the degree programmes can be found here.
Apart from that, all Chairs are involved in other curricula that are offered from other schools and faculties of Technische Universität Dresden. Examples are:
- Vocational teaching (Faculty of Education)
- Food chemistry (School of Science)
- Mechatronics and Regenerative energy systems (Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering)
- Imdustrial engineering and management (Faculty of Business and Economics)
- Master course in Wood technology and wood economics (Faculty of Environmental Science, and Faculty of Civil Engineering)
