Materials Science

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

In materials science, the properties of materials are optimised in order to create new materials that are used in technical products. Be it smartphones, electric cars, more powerful computers or improved treatment options in medicine—the development of new types of materials often plays a decisive role in fostering important innovations in technology and everyday life. This makes materials science a key discipline in solving issues relevant to society, such as mobility and energy, dealing with scarce resources or environmental and climate protection. Materials Science is a type of specialisation in the Bachelor's degree programme Mechanical Engineering.
