Master of Science in Manufacturing Technology (MMT)

In the first two semesters, students gain a deep, theoretical knowledge in the field of manufacturing technology. Furthermore, students choose elective modules according to their individual interests. The second year of study is dedicated to acquiring practical skills by completing the laboratory and scientific (industrial) project work modules. In this way, the understanding as well as the competence of applying the theoretical knowledge in practice is consolidated. In the same way, students shall learn to be able to compare the manufacturing processes currently applied in industry with state-of-the-art developments in specific fields. Furthermore, students become familiar with organising and implementing projects with several members. Due to the internationality of the Master's programme, students acquire intercultural competence. The Interdisciplinary Qualification module allows students to become familiar with the methodology of other disciplines like the humanities, the social or economic sciences. Competencies acquired in rhetoric and language courses can be applied in everyday working life and contribute to the students’ personal development. With the final Master's thesis, students prove their ability to work on a complex problem independently. Graduates are able to analyse and optimise existing manufacturing processes, evaluate existing production systems, and design new techniques. Further information can be found on the MMT website: http://www.mmt.mb.tu-dortmund.de/. During the first two semesters, students gain profound theoretical knowledge in the following compulsory modules: Machining Technology I + II Materials Science Bulk Metal Forming Sheet Metal Forming The "Interdisciplinary Qualification" module is geared towards imparting soft skills as well as language skills in order to prepare students for their future professions. In addition, students choose elective modules according to their individual interests. An overview of the elective courses offered currently can be found here: https://mb.tu-dortmund.de/studium/studiengaenge/msc-manufacturing-technology/course-of-studies/. The third semester is characterised by project and laboratory work, which enables students to acquire the competency to apply theoretical knowledge in practical applications. The Master's thesis is scheduled for the fourth semester. A detailed explanation of all modules can be found in the module description.
