Materials Science at Augsburg University is an interdisciplinary tuition-free study program connecting several aspects of physics, chemistry, and methods for characterization and processing of materials. The Master program in Materials Science deepens the scientific expertise of your previous education. It aims at understanding material properties and interactions between materials with particular regard to application-oriented research in science and technology. In Augsburg, we put a strong emphasis on natural sciences (rather than mechanical engineering) in materials science, aiming to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the chemical, physical and functional properties of materials....

The study programme covers the fields of materials science and technical sustainability. It also provides students with methodological skills in the areas of materials development, processing, and analysis plus the fields of sustainability aspects as efficient materials, life cycle assessment, conservation of resources and renewables.

Lecture languages: 50% German, 50% English.

Degree: Master's degree

Campus: Rheinbach

The standard period of study: 4 Semester

Accreditation: Accreditation by ASIIN (German accreditation association) until September 30, 2022.

Prerequisites: Bachelor's degree or equivalent in chemistry, materials science, engineering, forensic sciences or an equivalent study programme, grade at least "good" (2.5). For detailed information please contact our course advisers.... [-]

The Master's degree in "Verbundwerkstoffe/Composites" is intended for engineers and graduates of mathematics and natural sciences with professional experience, who would like to gain a qualification in the area of composites via the professional development route. The particular focus of the study program is on both carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP, colloquially known as "carbon") and glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP). The course is structured as a total of four block units, each of 17 days' duration, and a weekend course.

You can complete the study program either in German or in English. A Master's qualification will open up the best possible career prospects, with the CFRP branch of the economy alone being forecast to grow by 10 percent a year. The high demand for specialists in composites is therefore bound to continue to increase in future.... [-]

Maria from Colombia studied AMASE from 2015-2017. She was in Spain and France. She says:Now I am a PhD student at University of Amsterdam. This job allows me to strengthen my skills as researcher within an industrial focus and that is something I find very valuable. The international experiences I got from AMASE had been of great use to help me adapting to this new country.

Mike from Canada studied from 2013-2015 in France and Germany, he says: If you have the will and drive to seize it, AMASE offers you the opportunity to seriously challenge and develop yourself in much more than academics. I recognized that chance and embraced it completely.

The EMerald Master programme was created to answer the urgent need expressed by the European Union to create a resource efficient Europe. As the EU recognised the importance of mineral and metal resources in our modern economy, it also realised that the raw materials industries were facing a critical skills shortage.

The EMerald Master programme aims to train a new generation of engineers with an entrepreneurial mindset and a global vision of the value chain, putting the extraction of mineral and metal resources at the beginning of a circle which ends by collecting end-of-life products and recovering valuable materials out of the urban mines (circular economy). Therefore, the Master course will focus on two aspects:... [-]

This Master program is highly international, fully taught in English, and provides a multidisciplinary coverage of the field of optics and photonics.

We highly appreciate and strongly encourage applications from students who have obtained or are about to obtain a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification in Physics, Natural Sciences, or Engineering.

The invention of the laser in 1960 paved the way for a new research era in optics and photonics. With optics and photonics acting as enablers and catalysts, the invention of photonic technologies has far-reaching consequences, triggering a revolution in many fields of science, medicine, and technology....

As global and EU populations increase along with well-being and welfare, consumption per capita is also increasing. In the EU especially, consumption has outpaced production, particularly with respect to the more complicated, resource-intensive technologies and products that have become part of daily life. As a result, the importance of recycling and the circular economy will continue to increase in order to diversify our sources of supply and meet our needs.

AMIS is a Master programme in Advanced Materials for Innovation and Sustainability. The primary objective of the programme is to provide students with an understanding of the full raw materials value chain and a mindset for innovation and entrepreneurship focusing on sustainability. AMIS tackles this challenge by focusing on three themes – all of which are central themes of EIT RawMaterials:... [-]
