The Master of Materials Science in Advanced Materials focuses on the following:
modern, innovative materials with special properties at the atomic/molecular level showing a strong potential towards applications in science, technology, and medicine
interdisciplinary education and research combining various topics in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medical technology
The programme is strongly research oriented and allows you to specialise either in nanomaterials or biomaterials.
This involves
hands-on experience in physics, materials science, and molecular biology labs
gaining scientific competency and professional skills in modern molecular materials science
research experience in material science with an emphasis on emerging properties of nanometrials or the nano/bio interface
Modern nanoscopic materials are expected to influence almost every aspect of our lives ranging from semiconductors to biomedical implants. So be prepared to contribute in shaping the materials of our future!
