Admission and Application

Candidate Profile

 

The Master program “Computational Materials Science” is tailored to students who are interested in a multidisciplinary course that is located in between fundamental science and engineering science. Therefore, there is not such thing as “the typical CMS student”. However, you should be interested in materials behavior and have a certain “computer affinity”. You don’t have to be a programmer already, but programming will be of a number of classes. Many of our students have a mechanical engineering, materials science or physics background; in case of doubt please contact us for a consultation.


Minimum Admission Requirements

  • Bachelor degree or an equivalent degree in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or other comparable studies.
  • GPA with at least 75%.

  • Proof of German language skills (Goethe Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1 or telc Deutsch A1 or at least 150 hours German classes) Currently, this requirement has been lifted off.
