About the Program

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.
