    About Bachelor of Materials Science and Engineering (MSc)

    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.
