Materials Science B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

The research spectrum of materials science ranges from particle movement to tailored materials. It works with the question of how innovative engineering solutions can be derived from the chemical and physical properties of matter. Using nature's laws material scientists develop new materials that don't exist in nature – especially functional materials at a low molecular level.

Faculty: Division of Materials Science and Engineering in the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering in collaboration with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences , the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering , and the Faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology  |  Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German- and English-taught  |  Intake: Winter Semester  |  Location: Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

What you will study

Students are required to complete a six-week pre-internship before beginning studies. During their studies institute internships offer the possibiity to apply lecture content in a research context.

Career pathways

Materials scientists develop and optimize tailored material combinations needed for specific applications. They can build the bridge to decisive technical innovations or achieve enormous cost savings.
