Materials Science at the University of Augsburg is an interdisciplinary tuition-free study programme connecting several aspects of physics, chemistry, and methods for characterisation and processing of materials. The Master's programme 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. At the University of 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 International Master's in Materials Science is a full-time programme intended to be completed in four semesters (120 ECTS). Building on experience from the Bachelor's level, knowledge of materials science is deepened and enhanced, finishing with the completion of a Master's thesis and an associated thesis defence. All classes are taught entirely in English. Knowledge of German is not required. However, the university offers free German language courses.
The Materials Science programme offers students a broad variety of elective courses in fields such as spintronics, porous or optical materials, low temperature physics, nanostructures, and many more. Furthermore, through methods courses, your theoretical knowledge is complemented by practical lab experience using state-of-the-art research facilities.
Academic admission requirements
Academic admission requirements include a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in the fields of materials science & engineering, physics, or chemistry. A degree in a related discipline might be deemed equivalent by the examination board. All applicants must submit proof of having obtained at least 16 ECTS credits in each of the following subjects: (1) materials science, (2) physics, (3) chemistry.
Language requirements
Applicants whose first language is not English must provide proof of knowledge of English corresponding to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Currently, equivalences to B2 in terms of internationally recognised test methods (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS) are as follows:
TOEFL (paper-based) score of at least 550
TOEFL (computer-based) score of at least 213
TOEFL (Internet-based) score of at least 80
IELTS Overall Band Score of at least 6.5 (out of 9)
