MSc Advanced Materials Analysis at TU Bergakademie Freiberg

The targeted development of new materials (materials design) and the manufacture of components with the desired properties require a combination of academically driven and application-oriented research that focuses on describing functional relationships. Consequently, there is a constant demand in both academia and industry for scientists with in-depth knowledge of instrumental solid-state analysis and semiconductor technology.
