The degree programme Advanced Manufacturing embraces the new and promising manufacturing technologies in modern industry, with a special focus on resource-efficiency of products and processes. The students acquire an enhanced professional education providing the abilities for the solution of highly demanding tasks in research and development. The curriculum includes subjects in manufacturing processes and process control, factory systems and supply chains, business fundamentals and the product development process. Moreover, the programme is centred on hands-on activities to provide a practical understanding of processes, equipment, software and materials. By its four profile areas “Hybrid Technologies”, “Smart Production”, “Work Design and Sustainability Management” and “Printed Functionalities”, the degree program is oriented towards the research key areas of Chemnitz University of Technology in a trans-disciplinary, faculty-overarching and future-oriented way. In addition, the students also acquire intercultural competencies due to the international and heterogeneous character of the degree programme.

In the first semester of the study programme Advanced Manufacturing, the students get an overview of different future-oriented manufacturing methods and bring them in correlation with current questions regarding the availability of resources. Within the specialisation modules, the students have the choice between four specialisation areas for deepening their scientific knowledge. The specialisation modules Electives/Soft skills allow students to enhance their language proficiency as well as explore further subjects besides their chosen specialisation. In the seconde year, students apply their scientific and methodological abilities to an engineering project provided by companies and complete their studies with the Master Thesis.

The degree programme will expose students to a number of relevant topics in manufacturing and engineering that will help them secure employment in a wide range of fields, like machine automation, robotics, process development, supply chain strategy, quality control and design. Labour market demand over next years is expected to grow rapidly. Hundreds of companies have invested in advanced equipment and technology to improve their business operations and now need people who have the training to operate them. The Master of Engineering in Advanced Manufacturing from the Chemnitz University of Technology prepares students for leadership positions in the multidisciplinary profession of manufacturing and gives them the tools to grow in this dynamic field. The high-level academic education and the research-oriented character of the programme also prepare the students for subsequent work in research institutions and universities.
