International and Multidisciplinary

In a world with global business integration, good English language skills and intercultural competences are essential assets. The job market for Materials Scientists is international. This is why our Master's programme is entirely taught in English. The programme focuses on functional materials such as materials for energy or electronic applications, on their synthesis, characterization, and simulation.
