Description
Compulsory courses (lectures, exercises, lab courses):
- Topics such as Functional Materials, Surface Science and Quantum Mechanics or Micromechanics are covered. Theoretical Methods and Characterization Methods expand the students' methodological skills. The course Sustainable Materials deals with the replacement of critical raw materials and the recycling of materials.
- Students improve their experimental work skills in two Research Labs. Additionally, in the second half of the studies, students work in the Advanced Research Lab on a project in one of the research groups for three months.
The large elective area distributed over the degree course offers a widespread variety of individual choices:
- Elective courses materials science: e.g. Fundamentals and Technology of Solar Cells, Ceramic Materials: Synthesis and Properties (I & II) or Transmission Electron Microscopy.
- General studies: e.g. language courses or project management.
- Up to 4 CP can be freely allocated between both compulsory elective areas.
In the master thesis, students work on a project in one of the research groups over a period of 6 months.
The language of instruction for the M.Sc. Materials Science degree program is English.
