Knowledge of synthesis, properties, and the relation between the structure and properties of materials plays a crucial role for developing new technologies. To obtain a broad and fundamental understanding of materials science, the Master's course of study provides the background for understanding material behaviour for a broad spectrum of material classes (metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, nanomaterials, etc.). Lectures devoted to material synthesis and production/engineering routes, thermodynamic and kinetics of materials (e.g. phase transformations), and structural (strength) and functional (conductivity, magnetic) properties are cornerstones of the Master's course of study.
To finish the Master's degree, modules must be completed in the total amount of 120 CP (CP = credit point; 1 CP equals a workload of 30 hours). Compulsory Modules Winter semester: Synthesis and Properties of Inorganic Materials Advanced Materials Science Laboratory Practical Skills and Project Planning (related to topic of Master's thesis) Advanced Science Seminar Summer semester: Atomic Transport and Phase Transformations Polymer Materials Science Materials Science Specialisation (Compulsory Options) The specialisation subjects represent the core of the scientific education. Presently, they can be chosen from the following: Advanced Materials Characterisation Functional Materials Inorganic Materials Chemistry Materials Theory and Simulation Metals and Structural Materials Nanomaterials and Surfaces Plastics Engineering Soft Matter and Biomaterials Each of these subjects offers a choice of different related modules that can be selected in accordance to the Materials Science Specialisation subject catalogue. Optional courses Master's thesis Information on the Materials Science curriculum is available on the following website: https://www.mawi.uni-stuttgart.de/studium/master_okt16.en.html.
