- Description/content
- The students must complete 120 ECTS during the two-year programme (60 ECTS per year).
Of the total credits, 15 ECTS points are reserved for transversal skills such as language learning, intercultural competence, sustainability, data science, entrepreneurship, etc.
In the first semester, at least 30 ECTS must be earned. At least 25 of these ECTS must come from the scientific and technical courses, which are divided into three modules:
M-I: Structure and Properties of Materials (at least 12 ECTS points)
M-II: Materials Characterisation (at least 5 ECTS points)
M-III: Materials Engineering and Processing Technologies (at least 5 ECTS points)
In the second semester, students choose one of five specialisation tracks, which will continue into the third semester:
Track 1: Advanced Metallic Materials
Track 2: Polymers and Composite Materials
Track 3: Smart Surfaces and Functional Materials
Track 4: Advanced Processing Technologies
Track 5: Nano/Biomaterials
From the 30 ECTS points in the second as well as in the third semester, 25 ECTS must come from technical courses, seminars and/or projects of the selected track.
The Master's thesis (30 ECTS) must be written in the six months of the fourth semester.
