Requirements
Academic Admission
Academic Background: Applicants must hold a first university degree in natural or engineering sciences, providing sufficient foundational training for the programme. The specific requirements are outlined in paragraph three of the examination regulations. The examination board evaluates whether applicants meet these criteria. Language Proficiency: The programme is conducted in English. Applicants must meet the language requirements specified in the examination regulations. Special Admission and Selection Process: The Master’s programme in Battery Science and Technology in Engineering operates under a “numerus clausus,” reflecting its highly research-oriented education and the intensive level of supervision required. This means that there are restrictions on the number of students who can be accepted into the programme. Admissions decisions are based on a combination of academic performance and aptitude assessment. Specifically, applicants’ Bachelor’s degree grades account for 20% of the admission evaluation, while results from an aptitude test contribute 80%. For more information about the test and to register, please visit the dMAT (digital Master’s Test) website . It is important to note that if proof of test completion is not submitted by the application or extended submission deadline, the applicant will receive a score of 0 points for the test in the admissions process.
