• a good Diplom or Bachelor's degree in materials engineering, materials science or a comparable scientific or technical degree programme
• good English language skills, which are usually demonstrated either by a TOEFL test or
  by proof that modules were completed in English during the Bachelor's degree programme (this
  can also be foreign language modules)

• at least 50 out of a maximum of 125 points in the internal selection procedure, in which the following characteristics
  are taken into account

  - Overall grade of the Bachelor's or diploma degree (up to 75 points)
  - Assessment of the quality and suitability of the Bachelor's degree programme completed (up to 20 points)
  - Assessment of the quality of special academic achievements through research work in a relevant subject area (up to 20 points)
  - Assessment of the letter of motivation, taking into account previous educational and professional background (up to 10 points)

The Materials Technology/Materials Engineering degree programme is a consecutive Master's degree programme that builds on a Bachelor's or Diplom degree programme in a modular fashion. Over four semesters, knowledge is expanded and deepened in a targeted manner 
.
The Master's programme emphasises independent scientific work and research under supervision. In the final semester, you will complete your Master's thesis and present it in the subsequent colloquium 
.

• High practical orientation (numerous research projects, cooperation with regional and international 
  research institutions and companies)
• Intensive contacts with universities in Germany and abroad
• State-of-the-art equipment
• Master's thesis and research internship can be completed both in Germany and abroad

With a Master's degree in Materials Engineering, you have excellent career opportunities, 
because materials engineering or materials science is 
of enormous strategic importance for the development of 
innovative products and for the performance and competitiveness of the economy.
Thanks to the practical training at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, the transition to a career at 
is usually easy, for example in the following 
industries:

• Energy technology
• Automotive industry
• Electronics and information technology
• Optical industry
• Medical and environmental technology

Typical areas of application can be found in the materials manufacturing and processing industry:

• Building materials manufacturers, metallurgy
• Glass and ceramics industry
• Plastics and metal processing

Thanks to the in-depth scientific training, you will be particularly qualified to work in materials science-orientated research institutions. The Master's degree also gives you access to a doctorate.
