Compulsory courses (lectures, exercises, lab courses):

• In the first three semesters, the basics of materials science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and programming are taught.
• The second half of the study course focuses on more in-depth materials science content. In addition to sustainable materials and methods of materials science, topics such as the functional properties of solids and construction materials are covered.

Three compulsory elective areas distributed over the degree course offer a large variety of individual choices:

• Elective courses material science: e.g. electrical engineering or machine learning.
• Technical and scientific elective courses: e.g. biomimetics, organic chemistry, robotics, optoelectronics, or aerodynamics.
• General studies: e.g. economics, business administration, project management, or patent law.

• In the bachelor thesis, students work on a project in one of the research groups for three months.

After the bachelor's degree, specialization in the English-language M.Sc. Materials Science or one of our international double degree programmes in materials science is possible.
