Target group

Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science. Alternatively, their final qualification must cover the following knowledge and skills or not differ significantly from them:
aa)\tPhysical Principles: Command of the principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, nuclear physics, quantum mechanics and solid state physics, combined with modelling ability and abstract mathematical formulation of physical facts.
bb)\tInternships: The ability to identify and extract essential scientific connections based on self-conducted experiments, recording and critical evaluation of the results of the experiments. Reliable use of fundamental chemical, physical or materials science experimental set-ups and measurement methods.
cc)\tBasic Chemistry: A command of the principles of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, material classification, energy, bonding theory, basic spectroscopic techniques.
dd)\tHigher Mathematics: A command of the fundamental mathematical concepts and methods that are required to understand and solve problems in the Master's degree course in Materials Science. This refers to solid knowledge in the fields of linear algebra, analysis, Fourier series, differential equations, vector analysis.

Annotation

Many things would not be possible without modern materials that each of us uses in everyday life. Our Master’s degree programme covers both the atomistic fundamentals of materials and knowledge of processing and analysis. In in-depth laboratory practicals during the degree course, the current synthesis and analysis methods are applied in detail. In addition, students acquire the key competency of working within interdisciplinary teams through the interdisciplinary nature of the degree course.
