Programme Introduction
The Materials Science program is an interdisciplinary M.S. program aimed at providing a rigorous education in materials science and the fundamental physics and chemistry that underlie this discipline. Educational goals are achieved through both coursework and training in cross-disciplinary research supervised by one science faculty member. The courses offer an overview of the types of materials; their chemical and physical structures; and properties.
Interest in new materials (e.g. superconductor) and new technology (e.g. space technology), as well as a better understanding of the behaviour of materials in the design of structures (such as automobiles and aircraft, plant processing equipment, electronic devices, biomedical devices, etc.) have increased the need for people trained in science of materials.
The Materials Science program is an interdisciplinary M.S. program aimed at providing a rigorous education in materials science and the fundamental physics and chemistry that underlie this discipline. Educational goals are achieved through both coursework and training in cross-disciplinary research supervised by one science faculty member. The courses offer an overview of the types of materials; their chemical and physical structures; and properties. The M.S. program is based on lectures, seminars and practical laboratories in advanced materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, and their composites. The M.S. program introduces the micro- and nanotechnology as well as electronic, magnetic, and other functional materials. The compulsory basic courses provide the solid framework of the program; the semi-optional and special lecture courses give the basis of the specialization and their wide choice results in the flexibility of the program.
Career opportunities
The Materials Science program is strongly committed to interdisciplinary studies with a focus on physics and chemistry. The high standard of training is guaranteed by the highly qualified teachers and scientists. The education is supported by modern infrastructure and well-equipped laboratories. The library of the faculty contains several thousand books and journals. In addition to the high level of theoretical training, the joint research and development projects offer opportunities for the students to obtain up-to-date practical knowledge and experience to the students.
Job examples

Fees
Tuition Fee: €8.380 / year + one-time application fees
Required language proficiency
An internationally accredited language examination is required with at least a B2 CEFR level or equivalent result.
Examples of minimum level accepted:
TOEFL iBT 72 pts
IELTS 5.5
Alternatively, an official certificate issued by the applicant’s previous higher education institution can be accepted, stating that the applicant’s previous education (bachelor’s degree) was completed entirely in English.
Application criteria
- Undergraduate / Bachelor diploma (Bachelor degrees are accepted in the field of Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science)
Additionally, Biology, Environmental Science, Geology, Chemical Engineering, Bioenginering, Environmental Engineering, Energy Enginnering, Mechanical Engineering, Electric Engineering and Mechatronical Engineering can be accepted, if the applicant has at least 60 ECTS credits in the following fields: physics (20 credits at least), chemistry (20 credits at least), mathematics and computer science (10 credits at least), other relevant fields such as petrology, nuclear technology, biology, measuring technology (10 credits at least).
Required documents
As the program expects students with diverse backgrounds, the goal of an entrance exam is not to test what students know, but to see if they are motivated in th

e first place; if they have a good grasp of current global affairs; and if they possess the analytical skills necessary to join the program.
Below is a list of suggested articles from Oxford Research Encyclopaedias, all freely accessible (http://oxfordre.com/internationalstudies/). We recommend these not because we expect students to know them by heart, but because we would like to offer applicants the opportunity to get a rough idea about what issues and topics the field of International Relations (IR) deals with.
