    About

    Master’s programme Materials Science and Engineering The interdisciplinary Master’s programme Materials Science and Engineering at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) prepares students for exciting careers creating and improving materials for modern technologies and innovative applications. Possible application areas are, for example, composite materials for fuel-efficient lightweight concepts in automotive, high-performance functional materials for more powerful information and energy storage systems, or biocompatible materials for medical equipment. The German track of the programme was established back in 2011/2012. Starting in the winter semester 2020/2021, the two-year Master’s programme can also be studied in English or bilingually. In the English-taught track of the Master's programme, students from different disciplinary and cultural backgrounds are brought together in an enriching environment. An excellent support ratio as well as German courses help international students in familiarising themselves with living and studying in Germany. Excellence in Teaching and Research The English track of the programme is made possible in cooperation with the Cluster of Excellence 3D Matter Made to Order (3DMM2O), which is jointly carried by KIT and Heidelberg University. New courses led by Principal Investigators of 3DMM2O are part of the programme with the objective to lay the foundation and specifically prepare international students to continue their work in the cluster after graduation. KIT's Material Science courses have gained a considerable reputation since 2012. For example, the journal U.S. News ranks KIT Materials Science at the top of German universities in 2020. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021, Materials Sciences at KIT are ranked second in Germany and among the top 50 worldwide. Additionally, the new Material Research Center for Energy Systems (MZE) on KIT Campus South aims at forming a stronger network between KIT, Fraunhofer Society, and relevant companies.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Requirements Bachelor's degree or equivalent degree in the field of Materials Science and Engineering (or equivalent) with above-average grades The Bachelor's degree has to be completed with a minimum of 180 ECTS points or within a regular period of study of at least three years. (If the Bachelor's degree has not yet been conferred by the closing date for applications, but will be completed before the registration, you can apply with a preliminary transcript of records.) Knowledge in Metals and Materials Physics, Ceramics, Polymers, Functional Materials, Higher Mathematics, Technical Mathematics, Experimental Physics, and Inorganic and Applied Chemistry English Language Proficiency Entrance Exam If applicants do not exactly fulfil the skills described above, they may nevertheless be enrolled in the study programme if they prove to have the skills required for the study programme by passing a written entrance examination at KIT. The entrance examination takes place at the end of the application phase of the summer or winter semester at KIT Campus South (Kaiserstr. 12, 76131 Karlsruhe). The admissions committee decides on the necessity of the applicant's participation in the entrance examination on the basis of the previously submitted application documents. Applicants must register for the entrance examination via the online portal  at least 14 days before the date of the entrance examination. More information: www.3dmm2o.de/msc_application.php
