Entry requirements and how to apply

Entry requirements
Bachelor's degree in materials science or equivalent (e.g. materials science & engineering with a significant proportion of natural sciences, physics, or chemistry with a focus on physical chemistry, or similar) Note that students with a distinct engineering background often do not have sufficient knowledge in the fields of natural and materials science to get admission. However, we thoroughly evaluate each application individually. For more information on the requirements, please consult our FAQ section , (especially Q7).
English language requirement
C1 required, please provide an official language certificate, e.g.: UNIcert® English: UNIcert® III

About this programme

Functional materials such as energy materials, magnetic, or electronic materials are essential for the society of the 21st century. The Master's programme places specific emphasis on the structure, synthesis, analysis, modelling, and characterisation of functional materials, such as ceramics, inorganic and organic semiconductors, thin films, energy materials, metals, and nanomaterials. Compulsory courses cover fundamental aspects such as surface and interface science, theoretical materials science (including quantum mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and continuum mechanics), materials analytics, and sustainable materials science. Two lab courses and the Advanced Research Lab – an independent research project in one of our research groups to prepare for the Master's thesis – are compulsory, too. A wide range of elective courses provides the possibility to delve into various fields of specialisation. You can, for instance, focus on materials for energy applications, ceramics, thin magnetic films for spintronics, high-performance alloys, materials characterisation, or modelling of advanced functional materials. Given the approximately 50 elective courses offered at our institute, plus countless more provided by other TU Darmstadt institutes, many more specialisations are possible. We strongly encourage students to choose a professor as their mentor and discuss their specialisation. You will join one of the research groups in the department for the Advanced Research Lab
