Advanced Materials Justus Liebig University Giessen

Overview

The Advanced Materials course at Justus Liebig University Giessen is closely integrated into current materials research in Giessen with a focus on high-performance materials and energy materials. 

This gives you the opportunity to work on current research projects. You will acquire in-depth practical skills in the laboratory, work independently on smaller research projects and learn to develop solutions to problems with innovative ideas. In addition to basic expertise in materials science, you will specialise in a materials science research topic from the outset and thus hone your individual profile.

Career options

The Master's degree programme qualifies you for management and leadership positions in a broad spectrum of social, economic and industrial areas through specialisation and a high proportion of project work in one of the materials science-oriented working groups. 

These include, for example:

• Scientific activities at universities and non-university research and experimental facilities, for which you will have the best prerequisites for the independent planning, implementation, evaluation and assessment of scientific experiments and theoretical investigations as well as for the development of new materials for a wide range of technologies;

• Activities as managers and top performers for a broad spectrum of materials science (e.g. nanotechnology, semiconductor physics, materials for energy technologies, catalysis, surface technology) in industrial companies, 

• positions as managers in federal, state and EU authorities and in professional organisations.
