Requirements

Academic Admission

Students seeking admission to the consecutive Master’s degree programme in Materials Chemistry must have a Bachelor's or equivalent university degree in chemistry of materials science and will need to demonstrate their particular aptitude for this MSc programme. Applicants must also demonstrate adequate language proficiency in German and English. Bachelor's degrees in chemistry or materials science from a German university or equivalent higher education institution will be accepted without requiring equivalence to be verified. Other Bachelor's degrees or academic qualifications gained through examination will also be recognised, provided that the equivalence of these qualifications has been officially verified. An applicant’s suitability for the Master’s programme is typically demonstrated by them having an undergraduate with an overall grade of 2.5 or better on the German academic grading scale. The aptitude of applicants whose Bachelor's degree does not meet this criterion will usually be determined in a selection interview.

APS Certificate

An APS certificate is required for applicants who have completed their qualifying education in India, China, or Vietnam.
