Materials Chеmistrу

The M.Sc. program in Materials Chemistry at Saarland University is unique in Germany. The program combines advanced theoretical and practical training with a strong research element in an interdisciplinary field that spans chemistry and materials science.

Students with a background in chemistry and those with a background in materials science become acquainted with both the natural science perspective and the engineering science approach, and have the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired during their bachelor’s degree studies to problems in materials chemistry. One of the key features of the master’s program is how it combines the methodologies of chemical synthesis and materials characterization with problems of relevance in the field of materials science. By uncovering and establishing chemical relationships, students learn how to optimize the properties of a material concerning its potential applications.
