Facts and figures
Responsible Consumption and Production
The key advantage of the Master’s in Responsible Consumption and Production is the structured international specialisation within the EURECA-PRO consortium. It combines sustainability, technology and management in a European study programme that is not confined to a single location but is deliberately structured across several universities.
The individual choice of study tracks within the three specialisations – Materials, Business Strategy and Management, and Resource Supply – determines not only the academic focus but also the regional and industrial context in which sustainability is put into practice.
An overview of the course content
All students begin with a shared foundation at the Montanuniversität Leoben. You then choose a specialisation and combine study tracks that interest you at the partner universities in Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Greece, Poland and Austria.
This not only provides international experience but also fosters a subject-specific shift in perspective: materials research, energy and raw materials systems, production management and sustainable business management are explored within a variety of industrial and regional contexts. Mittweida University of Applied Sciences contributes expertise in the field of smart systems, combining sustainable value creation with a digital and technical systems perspective.

Responsible Consumption and Production in Mittweida
In summary – Responsible Consumption and Production in Mittweida
International full-time Master’s programme in resource-efficient production and circular materials management
(120 Credits)
Graduates of the European Master’s in Responsible Consumption and Production work, for example, on decarbonising industrial value chains, developing strategies for critical raw materials, assessing energy and material pathways, or leading sustainability programmes in manufacturing companies. Typical roles include Sustainable Supply Chain Analyst, Materials & Circularity Engineer, Energy Transition Analyst, ESG Programme Manager or Transformation Consultant for industry and energy.
Application and Admission
An initial degree leading to professional qualification comprising 180 ECTS credits (Bachelor’s degree) is required. A recommendation is made for a degree in the natural sciences or engineering.
Language skills:
Applicants who have not obtained their university entrance qualification through the German Abitur, including a basic English course with an average mark of 2, must demonstrate English language proficiency at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This can be demonstrated, for example, by a TOEFL test (iBT or iBT Home Edition) with a score of at least 76, the Duolingo English Test with a score of at least 110, or an equivalent certificate.
The application period for the coming winter semester begins on 1 March and ends on 5 September. The application process is divided into two main steps: an online pre-registration via MUonline and a personal appointment at the University’s Study Support Centre, which you can complete online.
For international applicants from non-EU countries, the application period ends on 30 April. This earlier deadline allows you to obtain a visa in good time to start your studies in September.
Excellent study conditions combined with affordable rent mean one thing: you can focus on your studies and kick-start your career in no time. You’ll also benefit from a wide range of support services. For example, we’re here to help with tutorials if you ever get stuck with your studies; our start-up network, SAXEED, supports you in setting up your own business; and the Social Support Centre makes studying possible whether you’re a parent or facing physical or mental health challenges. And: there’s no shortage of fun. Which other university holds two music festivals a year on campus? Which one has an esports team with over 100 players? Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is different from what you might think. See for yourself at the Open Campus Day (Studieninformationstag) or the Night of Sciences (Nacht der Wissenschaften)!
