Application & Admission
Application & Admission
The following pages provide important information around the application for the Master’s program „Advanced Materials and Processes“ (MAP).
At the heart of the MAP program is a unique combination of chemical and biological engineering with materials science and engineering, centered on four focal subjects. It is therefore much more than a program on advanced materials. We wish to welcome students into our program who are both, highly motivated to acquire advanced knowledge and skills beyond their bachelor’s, and prepared to integrate topics from other engineering disciplines into their studies.
Our search for such interdisciplinary-minded students has an impact on our application process. We invite our applicants to explain how the different subjects offered by the MAP program correlate with their personal goals for career and life.
Please check our information about the prerequisites to study MAP and a summary of the application procedure.
