Materials Science
Materials Science (MaWi) is the discipline in which materials are researched and developed from a scientific perspective. It is one of the key enabling technologies of the 21st century:
- New lightweight materials, high-temperature materials, or high-performance magnets increase the efficiency of vehicles, turbines, and engines.
- Innovative electrode materials increase the lifespan and storage capacity of batteries.
- Powerful smartphones and computers are only possible thanks to semiconductor materials with extreme purity and precise control of their atomic structure.
- Magnetic properties can be optimized to produce more powerful and lighter electric motors.
A Materials Science (MaWi) degree enables you to help shape future solutions across a wide range of fields.
Good to know
- Small and close-knit program with approximately 30–50 students.
- Excellent career opportunities: Instead of having to choose between physics or chemistry, the Materials Science (MaWi) program offers you an interdisciplinary mathematical and scientific education, which provides excellent career prospects in academia and industry after completing a master's degree or doctoral degree studies.
- Extensive collaborations with the Max Planck Institutes: The Institute for Materials Science has two locations – one on the University of Stuttgart campus and one on the Max Planck campus in Stuttgart-Büsnau. The two locations are just a few kilometers apart. The collaboration ensures a close connection between research and teaching. For example, it is possible to use research infrastructure from both institutions.
