MSc Materials Chemistry and Mineralogy at University of Bremen

The international Master's program "Materials Chemistry and Mineralogy" deals with a broad range of natural materials, with the spectrum of topics from practice and basic research spanning the entire range from raw material to end product. From the second semester onwards, the mineralogy profile focuses on natural and technically produced inorganic, non-metallic materials, while in the chemistry profile the spectrum ranges from solid-state chemistry to macro- and supramolecular materials to nanostructured surfaces as well as the structural characterisation of their volume and surface properties.

What you will study

The degree program - offered on an interdisciplinary basis by the departments of Geosciences and Chemistry - aims to impart core scientific competences from various disciplines of the participating subjects and, in particular, skills and knowledge in the areas of production, analytics and characterisation of materials. In this way, fundamental, method-oriented and materials-specific aspects complement each other to form an integrative view of materials science and natural science issues.

Career pathways

The degree programme opens up numerous fields of activity for graduates, on the one hand in industrial sectors such as glass and ceramics, building materials and chemistry, waste disposal and landfill management, electronics, paper, paints, pharmaceuticals, steel and other material-related areas, and on the other hand in state and industrial institutions with laboratories for the analysis and characterisation of materials (e.g. materials testing offices). The conception of the study program with the inclusion of freely selectable courses in the general studies area enables students to prepare themselves for their later professional environment according to individual requirements.
