Process Engineering and Natural Materials Technology at TU Dresden - Topics and Future Prospects
Basic studies (1. - 4. semester)
In the first four semesters, students are taught primarily mathematical-scientific and engineering fundamentals and general basics of process engineering and natural materials technology. Compulsory modules include the basics of process engineering and natural materials technology, mathematics, chemistry, measurement and automation technology, computer science, and business administration.
Major studies
In the second part of the study course the basic training is combined with application-oriented knowledge transfer. Students can choose one of five fields of study. The respective compulsory program in the 5th to 9th semesters (diploma)/ 5th semester (bachelor's degree) is supplemented by modules. Students can freely select from a catalog of subjects according to their specialist interests. Specialized and research internships in the diploma program and modules for general and interdisciplinary qualifications, for example, subjects from the humanities or economics, round off the range of courses. The following fields of study are available for selection from the 5th semester onwards:
In the seventh semester of the Diploma course Process Engineering and Natural Materials Technology there are no lectures. Instead, this period is reserved for a mandatory specialized internship, during which students can gain practical experience and apply their knowledge in industrial companies or non-university research institutions. The internship lasts 15 weeks and serves as an important orientation for the students and their subject focus in the further course of study. The program is completed in the 10th semester with the writing of a diploma thesis or in the 6th semester with the writing of a bachelor thesis.
Application
We recommend that international students take a close look at the compact page on study orientation. Various requirements are listed here. You can find further important information and conditions about the study program, such as the study requirements or deadlines, in the central study information system (SINS).
