About this programme
The four-semester Master's degree course of study (held in English) provides a specialisation in Materials Science and Engineering. In general, the courses are held in the form of lectures accompanied by seminars and labs. It covers advanced chemical, physical and mechanical aspects of modern materials sciences and offers a solid basis for deepening both the scientific knowledge and its practical application. The first three semesters of study will cover core subjects including Solid State Physics, Dielectrics and Ceramics, as well as Macromolecular Chemistry and Polymer Applications. These modules are mandatory. In addition, students will have to complete a research project in each of the three semesters. The final semester is reserved for the preparation of the Master's thesis, which can be completed in collaboration with research institutes or industrial partners. This course of study prepares for a career in research and development or for a PhD programme. For further information, please contact the Department of Chemical Engineering or Engineering Physics. There are three compulsory modules: Solid State Physics and Semiconductors, Dielectrics and Ceramics, Macromolecular Chemistry and Polymer Application. Three research projects shall be completed. Examples of elective modules in Chemistry: Particle Technology, Technology of Coatings, Incoherent Light Sources, Life-Cycle Assessment, Advanced Physical Chemistry, Membrane Separations, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Technology of Materials, Analytics of Plastics and Polymers, Optical and Electrical Characterisation of Materials, Chemical Sensors, Aerosol- and Nanotechnology. Examples of elective modules in Physics: Quantum Statistical Physics, Biomedical Materials, Microscopy/Surface Science, Integrated Devices, Battery Production, Laserphysics, Laser Materials Processing, Quantum Sensors, Modelling and Simulation, Image Processing, Modelling and Simulation, Optical Coherence Tomography, Photonic Crystals and Materials. Examples of elective modules in Mechanical Engineering: Innovative Materials Examples of elective modules in Business Administration: Project Management, Management Skills Further elective courses can be chosen with a maximum of 12 credit points in total. Examples of additional modules: Basics in Physics or Chemistry for engineers, German as a Foreign Language (compulsory for international students), Intercultural Communication and Competence The last semester is designed for the Master's thesis, typically performed in research and development departments in industrial companies and the final defence (30 credit points). In total, 120 credit points are necessary for graduation. PDF Download
