MA/MS in Advanced Engineering Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials is a two-year, 120 ECTS master's programme run by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering together with the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Maribor. It is aimed at students who want to take part in developing future materials, from smart composites and sustainable polymers to biomaterials, and metals and ceramics built for high performance. The curriculum pairs natural-science fundamentals with advanced engineering methods and modern digital tools, including simulation and computer-aided design. Students practise designing, analysing and improving materials and the processes used to make them, from atomic-level understanding to industrial use, with attention to sustainability and the circular economy. The University of Maribor Senate confirmed the programme on 22 October 2024, and Slovenia's higher-education quality agency accepted it on 18 September 2025. Graduates receive the title magister inženir naprednih inženirskih materialov (M.Sc.).
