MSc Materials Science and Engineering at Technical University of Munich

The newly developed master’s degree program Materials Science and Engineering responds to the increased demand for experts with excellent, interdisciplinary training in materials science and engineering. In response to the new challenges of contemporary society, there is an ever greater intertwining of expertise in the natural and engineering sciences. Modern education in the engineering sciences must, in turn, prepare students not only in classical disciplines, serving the needs of specific industries, but it must also address the need for interdisciplinary training. Taught at Garching Munich.

Faculty: TUM School of Engineering and Design  |  Duration: 4 semesters (2 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; English-taught  |  Intake: Winter Semester (October)  |  Location: München, Bayern, Germany
