Der zunehmende Mangel an hoch qualifizierten Fachkräften für den technisch-wissenschaftlichen Bereich bedeutet national wie international exzellente Berufschancen für die Absolventen des Masterstudiengangs Scientific Instrumentation. Die Industrie- und Forschungslandschaft der Region Jena bietet hervorragende Bedingungen für das gewählte Studiengangsprofil. Zahlreiche Firmen beschäftigen sich mit Mess- und Sensortechnik, Optik, Analysentechnik, Mikrotechnik und Medizintechnik. Die engen Kontakte der Lehrenden mit den Industriebetrieben und Forschungsinstituten garantieren eine praxisnahe Ausbildung mit aktuellen Lehrinhalten. Die Nachfrage nach Praktikanten und Absolventen der ingenieurtechnischen Studiengänge übersteigt zur Zeit das Angebot. Der Masterabschluss in Scientific Instrumentation berechtigt zur Aufnahme eines Promotionsverfahrens an einer Universität.
In the actual scenario of the increasing shortage of highly qualified personnel in technical and scientific sectors, there are excellent career prospects for graduates of the Master’s degree programme in scientific instrumentation both nationally and internationally. The industries and research institutes in the region of Jena provide excellent employment opportunities for graduates in the particular specializations which they have opted for. Many companies are engaged into the fields of metrology and sensors, optics, analytical techniques, micro engineering and medical engineering. The close contacts that the teaching staff possesses with the industrial firms and research institutes ensure that the training is practically oriented and is up-to-date with the course contents. Looking at the current scenario for interns and graduates of the scientific engineering courses, the demand is greater than the supply. The Master’s degree in Scientific Instrumentation also qualifies its holder to pursue a PhD.
The curriculum imparts to our students the knowledge and abilities for a future work in industry or research institutes.
The course is designed to provide the professional as well as the multidisciplinary competences which are required for a successful career. This includes knowledge in science and engineering as well as key qualifications.
Depending on the prerequisites of each individual student the first semester includes postgraduate foundation modules on advanced topics of applied physics or precision engineering.
Depending on the prerequisites of each individual student the first semester includes postgraduate foundation modules on advanced topics of applied physics or precision engineering.
From semester two the students choose four out of eight elective modules: Materials for Sensores and Electronics, Micro- and Nanotechnology, Optical Instruments, Gas Sensing and Aerosol Measurement, FEM and Simulation, Advanced 3D-Design, Precision Instrumentation and Scientific Computing. The language of instruction of the entire curriculum is English.
Semester three includes a research internship and the fourth semester students the work on a master's thesis in which a research project or a high-tech development project is performed. The research work for the internship and the master's thesis can be done in our university, in one of our partner universities, in a research centre or in a research department in industry.
It is jointly supervised by the according institution and our university.
The curriculum has a modular structure.
Credit points are granted following the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) for every successfully finished module. This system facilitates the recognition of course modules studied at different universities.

„Really liked the university staff, people in Jena and the cost of living is also much cheaper when compared to other cities in Germany.”
"Scientific Instrumentation ist ein sehr flexibler Studiengang, bei dem man nach dem ersten Semester gezielt vertiefen kann. Die Dozenten sind sehr engagiert und hilfsbereit. Die Hochschule ist sehr forschungsstark, wodurch sich für Studierende auch Möglichkeiten zur Arbeit in diversen Forschungsgruppen ergeben.“
Die Zulassung zum Masterstudiengang setzt ein Hochschulstudium mit gutem Abschluss in einem natur- oder ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Studiengang voraus, dessen Curriculum die fachlichen Eingangsvoraussetzungen abdeckt (z.B. Physikalische Technik, Feinwerktechnik, Physik, Elektrotechnik, Elektronik, Mechatronik, Medizintechnik) sowie gute Englischkenntnisse. Über die Aufnahme wird in einer Zulassungsprüfung entschieden. Absolventen anderer Bachelorstudiengänge als Physikalische Technik oder Feinwerktechnik brauchen umfassende Vorkenntnisse in Engineering Design, Materials Science und Instrumentation. Sind diese Vorkenntnisse nicht in vollem Umfang vorhanden, dann erteilt die Auswahlkommission die Belegung und erfolgreiche Absolvierung aller postgradualen Basismodule (Solid State Physics, Microsystems Engineering, Design of Precision Devices und Introduction to FEM) als Auflage.
Bewertungskriterien:
- Gewichtung der Abschlussnote des ersten akademischen Abschlusses: Punktezahl = (4 - Abschlussnote bzw. vorläufige Durchschnittsnote) * 25 Punkte
- Bewertung der Qualität und Passgenauigkeit des absolvierten Bachelorstudiums (bis zu 25 Punkten)
- Bewertung der Qualität von besonderen wissenschaftlichen Leistungen durch Forschungsarbeiten auf relevantem Fachgebiet (bis zu 15 Punkten)
Um eine Zulassung zu erhalten, sind 50 der 115 möglichen Punkte erforderlich.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine Vorabeinschätzung der Zulassungschancen leider nicht möglich ist.
______________________________________________________________________________
- A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in a technical or scientific field, whose curriculum covers the special educational prerequisites for the Master's Programme in Scientific Instrumentation. Such degrees should be, in particular, those awarded in physics engineering, precision engineering, physics, electronic engineering, mechatronics, medical engineering, mechanical engineering and comparable study programmes.
- A good command of English, demonstrated either by a TOEFL or IELTS test. Minimum levels of English: Paper-based TOEFL 550 points, internet-based TOEFL 79 points, IELTS overall band score of 6.0. The test shall not date back more than three years.
The entry requirement for the Master’s degree programme is a university degree with competent final degree grades in physics, science or a scientific engineering discipline whose curriculum covers the subject entry requirements (e.g. physics, physics engineering, microtechnology,precision engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, electronics ). English proficiency is also mandatory. The postgradual basis modules in semester one are assigned to the students depending on their Bachelor course to bring all the students with their different background to a comparable level.
