About this programme

In response to the new challenges of contemporary society, there is an ever greater intertwining of expertise in the natural and engineering sciences. Modern education in the engineering sciences must, in turn, prepare students not only in classical disciplines, serving the needs of specific industries, but it must also address the need for interdisciplinary training. The Master's degree programme in Materials Science and Engineering rises to this challenge by offering a scientific, interdisciplinary education in engineering, involving a variety of disciplines such as chemistry, electrical engineering, information technology, computer science, mechanical engineering, mathematics, and physics. Key objectives of this programme include enabling students to physically and mathematically model complex technical-physical processes and systems accounting for the materials to be employed, that is, to theoretically comprehend and apply the fundamental disciplines of engineering and to chemically and physically describe them. Additionally, the programme accounts for the current paradigm shift away from deterministic models towards predictive science. It is for this reason that the TUM MS&E programme is unique, as it is designed to give students a probabilistic view of the material properties of physical and engineering science systems from the start and, thus, it conveys the necessity of stochastic modelling, which has not yet made its way into the curricula of other programmes.
