Study content

Individual study contents

You will coordinate your study content individually with your mentor. You will be advised on specialisations and supervised in the completion of two research modules and the Master's thesis . In addition to the programme-specific modules, you can attend lectures at universities in Germany and abroad, depending on your choice of research activities. The standard period of study is three semesters and comprises 90 ECTS credits .

Modules per semester

In addition to your individual research projects, which you will work on in consultation with your mentors, you will be offered the following modules in the summer semester.

Under the moderation of the lecturer, you will develop solutions for selected areas of NC machining and submit the result in the form of a term paper. The focus is on content relating to the digitally continuous machining chain, work control and specific issues relating to the control of CNC machine tools.

In the building construction course, you will acquire basic knowledge of designing buildings, building structures and building materials. We provide you with in-depth knowledge of common construction methods in structural engineering (foundation engineering, steel construction, reinforced concrete and masonry construction) and basic knowledge of current building law. The module enables you to prepare the approval planning for a building.

  • Considerations of complex wood-physical and chemical interrelationships
  • Influence of modification processes on wood physical and chemical properties, taking into account process engineering aspects
  • novel chemical analysis and physical testing methods

Acquire basic mathematical, scientific and engineering knowledge.Basic knowledge:

  • Scientifically accurate experimental work
  • Analysis technical problems and developing solutions, e.g. in dialogue with mechanical engineering specialists
  • Development, calculation, design and manufacture of simple assemblies conforming to standards
  • Instruction in maintenance and repairs

For the bonding of organic (e.g. bio-based materials) with other substrates, measures are necessary to improve the adhesive effect of the joining partners.

In this module, you will learn about and calculate methods for adjusting the relevant properties. Upon completion, you will be able to design adhesive bonding processes that go beyond the application in the wood sector - e.g. from the automotive sector.

In addition to the individual research projects that you work on in consultation with your mentor, the following modules are offered in the winter semester.

You will get to know selected measuring methods and systems and the use of sensors. You will be able to evaluate the possibilities and limitations of measurement systems used and derive solutions for different applications. You will also acquire knowledge of selected statistical methods for evaluating measurement series and for quality assurance. You will be able to apply these practically.

You will acquire skills that include material and component testing for development and production control. Aspects of product or patent research, project planning and development, the safe application of testing and classification standards and assessment of material and component characteristics for product development are included.

You acquire in-depth knowledge of the finite element method (FEM) and finite element analysis (FEA). You will be able to create suitable FE formulations for engineering problems, assemble corresponding total matrices and solve the resulting systems of equations. You will independently recognise problems and limits and critically question numerical results.

From an engineering point of view, you have mastered the non-ideal flow behaviour of adhesives, lacquers and hardeners to determine their fluid-dynamic characteristics, and you carry out optimisation calculations for hydraulic transport and other applications in wood technology. You can independently carry out rheological measurements and analyses of the structuring mechanisms of adhesive materials.

Regardless of your enrolment in the summer or winter semester, you register for Research Project 1 in the first semester and Research Project 2 in the second semester. The registration of the Master's thesis is scheduled for the third semester. Irrespective of the semester schedule, you can complete student research projects in subject areas that are tangential to the actual research topic.

In consultation with your mentor, you will work on your Master's thesis in the third semester.

After graduation

Career prospects

With the Master 's degree, you are optimally prepared for a wide range of activities in research and development. In addition, the degree programme is designed as a qualification for independent scientific and research work; the degree with distinction offers you the basis for a doctorate.

FAQ on application and admission

If the number of applications is expected to exceed the number of available study places, a degree programme is offered with limited admission. The study places are awarded to the applicants in a selection procedure. Several ranking lists are created. The average grade or waiting period of the most recently admitted applicant determines the selection limit for the respective year.
Here you can find the selection limits for the restricted-admission degree programmes of the past year:
Selection limits for restricted-admission degree programmes of the past years

No, you can only apply for one degree programme at our university. You are welcome to consult with us at an early stage to find out which degree programme might be the most suitable for you. Please contact us via e-mail to arrange an appointment. Consultations are possible by telephone, online and in person.

If the Fachhochschulreife consists of a school-based and a practical part, an application is only possible when both parts have been completed. If, for example, the practical part ends after the application deadline, an application is only possible the following year.
If you are applying for a Master's degree programme, we require a certificate of achievement from your university showing at least 150 ECTS, the provisional average grade and the expected end of studies.

Notifications of admission, rejection or exclusion are made available in the online application portal. At the same time, information on this is sent to the e-mail address stored in the applicant account.
Notifications for degree programmes with restricted admission are usually sent out two to four weeks after the end of the application period for the respective degree programme. Further information on notifications for degree programmes with restricted admissions in coordination with Hochschulstart (DOSV) can be found here.
If you are applying for a degree programme with open admissions, the notification will be sent promptly after the application has been reviewed.

FAQ before starting your studies

Are there preparatory courses before the regular start of studies?

Currently, there are no courses.

When and how do I start my studies?

You can find the semester dates and the programme for the introductory events for first-year students here. There you will find out where you can find your study plan in the campus management system EMMA and register for modules and exams, get to know the Moodle platform, where all learning materials etc. can be found, get to know your contact persons and student representatives and initiatives as well as your fellow students and get first insights into individual subjects. So it's definitely worth taking part!

Please bring a valid ID document for the identity check and something to write down. For catering, we have a great offer in our sustainability canteen.

You can find your study plan online via the account access in our campus management system, which you will receive by e-mail with your enrolment. You can also find the plans for the introductory events here.

No, attendance is not compulsory, neither for the courses nor for the introductory week (with the exception of the identity check at the start of your studies, most exams and excursions for which you have registered). But: Regular attendance is of course highly recommended, as this not only supports learning progress, but also contributes to the positive dynamics of our rather small learning groups.

Where can I get support at the beginning of my studies if I don't know my way around or have specific questions?

Most of your questions will certainly be answered during the introductory events at the beginning of the semester. If you still have questions or special needs, please make use of our advisory services, which we have clearly prepared for you here.
