The Master's programme "Chemistry of Materials" is designed for students with a Bachelor's degree in either chemistry, physics, materials sciences, any of the chemistry-related disciplines of engineering, or related fields. The course language is English.
The programme comprises three stages: adjustment, specialisation, and practical training. The adjustment stage provides students with the necessary academic background to embark on materials chemistry, depending on their individual Bachelor's education. Basic German or project management skills can also be obtained during the first semester. The specialisation stage provides students with fundamental courses as well as the opportunity to specialise in various fields of materials chemistry, depending on personal interest. During the practical training, students perform research laboratory work and a scientific internship either at research groups in Jena or at partner institutions abroad. At the end of the programme, students work towards a thesis on a current topic of materials research.
Research laboratory work and/or a scientific internship
