Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The Master's degree programme in Advanced Materials is a research-oriented programme focusing on modern functional materials whose properties have been specifically modified for particular applications. Areas of application include medicine, mobility, communication, energy supply and aerospace. The programme provides theoretical and practical knowledge to optimize materials for future applications and is closely integrated into current materials research in Giessen with a focus on high-performance materials and energy materials. Students acquire in-depth practical skills in the laboratory, work independently on research projects, and specialize in a materials science research topic. The programme is offered jointly by the Departments of Physics (Department 07) and Chemistry (Department 08). This degree programme offers the opportunity to acquire a double degree with Osaka University (Japan), Kansai University (Japan) and the University of Padua (Italy). The programme can be studied in German (with a few English-language modules) or entirely in English.
