Studying material science in Germany

Materials science studies what things are made of and how to make them stronger, lighter, cleaner or longer lasting. A Master's in this subject covers metals, plastics, clay and other hard materials, and new materials used for energy, health and electric devices.

It mixes three subjects: physics, chemistry and engineering. Students come from several kinds of first degree. Some programmes include lab work and a research project. Compare what each programme focuses on and read what you need to apply.

Questions students ask

Yes. 53 of the 58 programmes are taught in English, or in English and German.

42 of the 58 programmes have no tuition fee. You still pay a small semester fee to the university.

43 public universities teach material science. Together they have 55 programmes.

TU Bergakademie Freiberg (4 programmes), University of Bayreuth (3 programmes) and University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg) (3 programmes).
