The degree programme is based on a fundamental education in the subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry. At the same time, specific materials science training begins in the first semester.

Students learn the scientific and technical fundamentals of the production, characterisation, development and use of construction and functional materials. In addition to theoretical training, several practical courses are carried out from the first semester on, in which laboratory work and programming for materials research and development are learnt.

Three compulsory elective areas offer scope for individualisation:

  • Elective Courses Materials Science: Two of the three modules Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, and Physical Chemistry II.
  • Technical-Scientific Elective Courses: Bionics, organic chemistry, robotics, optoelectronics, aerodynamics or many other modules from the TU Darmstadt programme.
  • General Studies: Economics, Business Administration, Project Management, Patent Law, or many other modules from the TU Darmstadt programme.
