Welcome to SUMA
The International Master on Sustainable Materials (SUMA) is a two-year programme (120 ECTS) that trains excellent material scientists and engineers with the expertise, innovative mindset, and professional commitment to transform the materials value-chain to a more sustainable business model.
SUMA is delivered by a consortium of five European universities known for their excellence and close cooperation with industrial networks: KU Leuven (Belgium), MU Leoben (Austria), U. Milano-Bicocca (Italy), U. Trento (Italy), and U. Politécnica de Madrid (Spain).
The programme consists of four tracks offered by two universities of the consortium that grant a dual degree upon completion of studies. The first year takes place at KU Leuven, followed by the second year in which students choose a specialisation track at one of the partner universities.
Become part of our vibrant community and join a global movement of material scientists and engineers shaping the materials of tomorrow with cutting-edge expertise and a sustainable vision.
