The education and training landscape in microsystems technology is highly developed.
The first degree courses and major fields of study commenced at the start of the 90s. Today, there are more than 80 university courses with varying degrees of engineer training in microsystems technology. Since 1998, potential skilled workers have been able to complete an industrial-technical apprenticeship in microtechnology concentrating on the major fields of semiconductor technology and microsystems technology. Approximately 900 young people have successfully completed this vocational training course; another 530 are currently following their example.

Opportunities and new opportunities in the area of continuing and further training have been particularly developed due to the regional networks. These range from traditional and in-house continuing training for technicians right up to target group-specific further training seminars. The following pages provide you with an overview of all the existing educational opportunities in the field of MST. Links allow you to directly access the pages of actual training providers full of the latest information.
