Materialwissenschaft & Werkstofftechnik

This programme's core is the Fachprüfungsordnung which sets out the fundamental structures of the course, including access requirements and content to be studied, while the Studienverlaufsplan outlines an exemplary study path through the modules.

The Masterstudiengang Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik (MatWerk) is for those who have completed a bachelor's in engineering or natural sciences and found their knowledge of materials and their properties lacking. This course covers the physical properties of materials from an atomic level, the relationships between production and processing, structure, and properties of materials, understanding the behaviour of technical components, and considering environmental and sustainability aspects.

The course comprises three parts: a general compulsory part, extensions based on the bachelor's degree, and an individual part with elective modules, a cross-disciplinary module, a lab, seminar, and individual supplements. The course structure is designed to address the specific needs of both engineering and natural science graduates, providing a comprehensive understanding of materials science and their applications.
