Focal Subjects

Focal Subjects

In the course of the first semester, you will be asked to choose two of the four focal subjects. Please note that once a choice has been made, it can only be changed in consultation with one of the MAP Chairs and the respective Focal Subject Head.

Focal Subject Heads:

  • Advanced Processes: Prof. Maro Haumann
  • Biomaterials and Bioprocessing: Prof. Aldo Boccaccini
  • Computational Materials Science and Process Simulation: Prof. Michael Engel
  • Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology: Prof. Mathias Göken

Each Focal Subject consists of three modules, each worth 5 ECTS. In some Focal Subjects, you can choose from several modules.

It is not possible to choose modules from other Focal Subjects in order to complete a specialization, but additional modules can be chosen voluntarily within the Focal Subject and will be added to your transcript of records.

If a Focal Subject offers a choice from several modules, there is no guarantee that all modules will be set up in such a way that there is no overlap and that all modules can be chosen.
