MSc Chemistry of Materials at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

The international study programme Chemistry of Materials is research-oriented and provides, based on the education in a qualified undergraduate degree programme, the ability to work independently in a modern, interdisciplinary field at the interface between chemistry, physics and materials science. The study programme provides extensive knowledge of synthesis, chemistry and the properties of novel functional materials. The entire spectrum from the molecule via nanoscale materials to the bulk materials will be discussed.

Faculty: Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Science  |  Department: Institutes of the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences  |  Duration: 4 semesters (120 ECTS)  |  Study mode: full-time or part-time; English-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Jena, Thüringen, Germany

What you will study

The english study programme is designed for national and foreign students interested in an international curriculum. Due to its interdisciplinarity as well as its research-orientation, the study programme fulfills the need for qualified graduates in the broad field of materials chemistry and in particular, of nanotechnology.

Career pathways

The M.Sc. study programme Chemistry of Materials is strongly researched-oriented. The graduates will be primarily employed in companies involved in materials chemistry research and development, but also in quality assurance and control as well as in sustainability assessment facilities. Alternatively (high-performing) graduates can pursue a scientific career and participate in one of the Ph.D.
