About the Program
Composite materials for energy-saving lightweight construction concepts in vehicle construction, high-performance functional materials for increasingly powerful information and energy storage systems, biocompatible materials for medical technology - new materials and constantly improving materials are a prerequisite for modern technologies. More than two thirds of all technical innovations today are based on new materials. In science and industry, there is a constantly growing demand for specialists with a sound university education in this field. The bachelor's program in Materials Science and Engineering at KIT has an interdisciplinary focus. Students acquire basic knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences, especially chemistry and physics, as well as methods of scientific work. They gain application and problem-solving skills from the engineering sciences. All material groups, in particular metals, polymers and ceramics, are covered in the program.
