About this programme

New materials and catalytic converters are driving innovation in an increasing number of areas in industry, research, and technology. The Bayreuth Master's programme in "Materials Chemistry and Catalysis" enables students to participate successfully in shaping this development with a high level of professional competence. Consequently, new material concepts such as nanomaterials, hybrid materials, composites, colloidal molecules, surface-active material or biomimetic materials, and the design of catalysts are at the centre of the course. Profile The Master's offers students a challenging research-related education. Students learn the chemical and physical fundamentals, but also the properties and application potentials of many classes of materials and catalysts that are of particular importance for technological progress and economic growth in the 21st century. Graduates are therefore able to synthesise, modify and characterise materials for various requirements. The campus of the University of Bayreuth offers excellent opportunities for this with modern laboratory facilities and outstanding library equipment. Particularly qualified students have the opportunity to participate in the elite study programme in "Macromolecular Science" parallel to their Master's and doctoral studies. In addition, the Master's programme is embedded in the following focus areas of University of Bayreuth: "Polymer and Colloid Research" and "Advanced Materials". Important impulses for teaching also
