This interdisciplinary Master's programme, taught in English in Bremen, Germany, builds on a strong grounding in the natural sciences and brings together chemistry, physics and engineering to study modern materials. Course topics range from molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics to emerging biomaterials and multifunctional hybrid substances. The curriculum blends hands-on laboratory work with cutting-edge computational methods, including artificial intelligence and data science, so you gain both experimental skills and digital analysis expertise.
The programme is designed to prepare graduates for a variety of paths: further academic research or professional roles in industry. Students take part in real-world research projects and benefit from close collaboration between university departments and external partners, ensuring exposure to current problems and technologies. The combination of interdisciplinary training, practical lab experience and computational toolsets aims to make graduates competitive in the international job market.
Requirements (as stated)
The programme mixes theoretical modules and practical training. Core subject areas include molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics, biomaterials and multifunctional hybrid materials. A distinct element is the integration of computational tools—such as AI and data-science methods—with experimental laboratory courses and supervised research projects.
Students gain skills in computational modelling, data analysis, experimental techniques and interdisciplinary problem solving. The course structure supports hands-on experience through lab work and research initiatives, preparing graduates to design, characterise and optimise advanced materials for academic or industrial applications.
Admission requirements
To apply you’ll need to provide a set of documents that demonstrate your academic background, motivation, and language skills. These help the admissions committee assess your readiness for an interdisciplinary Master’s in Advanced Materials. If your university records are in another language, submit official translations in English or German where possible; follow the program’s guidance on certified copies and formats.
Some materials—such as your final bachelor’s certificate—may not be available at the time of application. The program accepts provisional submissions in those cases, but check the specific deadlines and any follow-up requirements. Also note that the required English language test is specified by the program (see the program page for accepted tests and minimum scores).
