Program Overview

Lightweight engineering focuses on reducing material weight while maintaining safety, durability, and performance, making it essential for industries like automotive, aerospace, and e-mobility. This approach offers benefits such as improved fuel efficiency, increased payload capacity, enhanced performance, and reduced environmental impact. The demand for lightweight constructions and fibre-reinforced composite materials is growing in the coming years. 

Our study programme emphasises carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP). Located at the Stade Technology Centre, you will have unique networking opportunities with companies such as Airbus and the Fraunhofer Institute. Part-time study options are available for employed students.  

The programme is designed for students with a background in engineering or mathematical sciences and at least one year of work experience.

 

Study content
We want to equip our students with the knowledge and skills that will provide a smooth transition into the German industry. Today's industry expects engineers to have more than just technological expertise. In addition to lightweight engineering and composites, our programme includes courses in management, automated manufacturing processes, digital factory planning and circular economy. On the technical side, you will learn about the production of composite materials and their applications in constructions.  

Because we believe that theoretical knowledge is good, but understanding why you need it is just as important, we create a good balance between theory and practice. This means that the theory that we cover has a connection to its practical application. That way, you will also have the oppurtunity of being directly employed in the field.
