Materials technology or materials science is of enormous strategic importance for the development of innovative products and for the performance and competitiveness of the economy. Studies show that more than three quarters of the twenty largest German companies rate materials research as significant to very significant for future company development and that about 60% of all researching companies in Germany from various market segments are concerned with materials technology issues.
Industrial sectors using materials:
- Energy technology
- Automotive industry
- Electronics
- Information technology
- Optical industry

The study programme Materials Engineering is a consecutive Master's degree programme that builds on a Bachelor's or Diploma degree programme in a modular way. In 4 semesters, knowledge is expanded and specifically deepened.
In the Master's programme, emphasis is placed on independent scientific work and research under supervision. The main language of the programme is German. The Master's thesis is written in the last semester and presented in the subsequent colloquium. The application-oriented orientation of the degree programme is also reflected in the "Master of Engineering" degree.

The admission requirement for the Master's programme in Materials Engineering is a good diploma or bachelor's degree in materials engineering, materials science or a comparable natural science/technical degree programme.
Assessment criteria:
- Weighting of the final grade of the first academic degree: Score = (4 - final grade or preliminary average grade) * 25 points.
- Evaluation of the quality and fit of the completed Bachelor's degree (up to 20 points)
- Evaluation of the quality of special academic achievements through research work in relevant subject area (up to 20 points)
- Evaluation of the letter of motivation, taking into account the previous educational and professional path (up to 10 points).
To be admitted, 50 of the 125 possible points are required.
A good knowledge of English is required, which is usually demonstrated either by a TOEFL test or by proof that modules were completed in English during the Bachelor's degree programme. These can also be foreign language modules.
