Scientific Instrumentation (M.Sc.)
The curriculum imparts to our students the knowledge and abilities for a future work in industry or research institutes. The course is designed to provide the professional as well as the multidisciplinary competences which are required for a successful career. This includes knowledge in science and engineering as well as key qualifications.
The first semester includes foundation modules on advanced topics of Applied Mechanics, Electronics, Optics and Scientific Computing. For semesters two and three, students choose a major direction for their studies. Currently, the following directions for specialisation are offered:
- "Design of Precision Instruments" with focus on mechanical design and product development
- "Materials and Processes" with focus on functional materials and micro- & nanotechnologies
- "Applied Optics and Photonics" with focus on optical engineering and image data processing
Semester four is dedicated to research work for the Master's thesis in a company, at a research institute, or at our university.
The language of instruction for the entire curriculum is English. As part of the curriculum, we offer German courses for all levels, which prepare students for thesis work in companies and job entry.
The curriculum has a modular structure. Credit points are granted according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) for every successfully completed module.
