About

The consecutive masters program in Material Science and Engineering provides you with an in-depth understanding of the basic principles off material science as well as specialist knowledge and a firm grasp of scientific investigation procedures in the field of composite materials. You can choose one of two specializations to attain an individual specialized qualification profile: either special process technologies of materials and material aspects of construction, which allows you to define your professional orientation, or different material groups, in which you gain material-specific skills. Here you can choose from structural materials, functional materials, biomaterials, and the classes of materials metals, ceramics, and polymers.

As a graduate of the masters program in Material Science and Engineering, you possess both a thorough technical knowledge of material science as well as specialized knowledge and skills in the specialization of your choosing. You are able to investigate and assess the effects of a building component on the environment - from its raw material stage till it is recycled. You are also able to apply an interdisciplinary approach when developing new materials and manufacturing processes. Your skills range from determining parameters for technical applications, assessing material behavior, and improving processes and products to contributing to materials development, preparations, implementation, and production control in operations. You are capable of independently analyzing and solving complex scientific problems. Additionally, you have qualifications that extend beyond your own discipline, such as knowledge of quality assurance, project and cost management, and safety aspects.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

As for every other masters degree program at TU Berlin, applicants to the Material Science and Engineering masters program must possess a first university degree qualifying them for professional work. Applicants to the consecutive masters program must possess a first university degree in material science and engineering or a related field qualifying them for professional work. The responsible examination board will decide whether the content of the related bachelors degree qualifies the applicant for the masters program.

The Material Science and Engineering masters program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level. This is a prerequisite for admission.

Knowledge of English is useful as some courses/modules are offered in English. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.

It is advantageous for students to be flexible, creative, and self-reliant as independent problem analysis, abstraction, and an integrative-transdisciplinary approach are required.
