4 Semesters - 120 Credit Points
Composition of the Study Programme
The Master's degree programme is divided into a compulsory area (58 CP), a compulsory elective area (12 CP), an in-depth module and a specialisation module (10 CP each) and the Master's thesis (30 CP).
In the compulsory elective area, you can choose from various subjects and thus either expand your subject-specific competences or acquire additional non-subject-specific competences. It is possible to take courses in physics, mathematics, materials science or chemistry. However, courses from the life sciences, medicine or other subject areas (e.g. languages, economics, law) can also be recognised.
