Advanced Materials Analysis

About

At TU Bergakademie Freiberg, we bring together experienced researchers and lecturers from different scientific communities to offer our graduate students the education needed for a successful career in industry and research institutions dealing with modern materials science. Development of advanced materials of all types requires use (and combination) of various instrumental analysis techniques for materials characterisation that is a precondition for a correct description of the structure-property relations and for a targeted tailoring of materials properties in the production process. The course of study Advanced Materials Analysis provides profound insight into important techniques for analysis of solid materials like advanced steels, materials for electronics, shape memory alloys and energy materials by using microscopic, spectroscopic and diffraction methods. Graduates will be well-prepared to pursue their successful careers in different materials-related industrial fields, particularly in research and development. Thereby, the strongly methodological character of the study course will open the door to a quite versatile range of industrial fields, from metallurgy to semiconductor industry. In addition, they can pursue a career with academic research centres.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Candidate Profile The Master's programme Advanced Materials Analysis (AMA) is open for students to upgrade their knowledge in the materials science, engineering science, or in the fields of natural science specialised in physics or chemistry. The AMA programme is designed to attract students from different fields of science and engineering to emulate an interdisciplinary environment and enable team work between scientists and engineers. The candidates should be interested in the behaviour and analysis of solid material down to the atomic level combining the natural scientist's and engineer's point of view. Minimum Conditions of Admission A Bachelor's degree (at least six semesters) or an equivalent degree in the field of Engineering Science with a major in Materials Science or the field of Natural Science with a major in Physics or Chemistry which should include subjects related to solid state physics or solid state chemistry. Please note: Applicants with a degree in "Mechanical Engineering" who have not taken any of the listed majors during their studies will generally not be admitted for professional reasons.
