Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Advanced Materials and Processes (MAP) is a combination of Materials Science and Engineering with Chemical and Biological Engineering. This international and interdisciplinary program taught in English provides both theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of materials science and chemical and bioengineering to produce better materials more efficiently and sustainably. The program offers four focal subjects: Advanced Processes, Biomaterials and Bioprocessing, Computational Materials Science and Process Simulation, and Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology. Students follow an individually tailored curriculum to learn the fundamentals in small groups. The course will leave the Elite Network of Bavaria in the winter semester 2025/26 but will continue without its support.
