Program structure

The program has a minimum duration of three (3) academic semesters and a maximum study period of four (4) semesters, it corresponds to a total of 90 ECTS credits and leads to Postgraduate Diploma in Master of Science (MSc).

During the first two Semesters students attend compulsory and elective courses. The third semester is dedicated in the Master thesis which is written in English. The elective courses are divided in two Flows, i.e. Flow A: Materials Science and Flow B: Materials Technology. Flow A focusses on “Synthesis - Structure - Properties – Applications” of Materials, while Flow B focusses on the technological aspects of these disciplines. Lecture attendance is mandatory.
