The Master's programme
"Battery Materials and Technology" (M.Sc.) comprises modules with a total of 120 ECTS credits. It offers a broad range of modules, which are structured into the following module areas:

    Alignment Modules
    Compulsory Modules
    Elective Modules.

In their first semester, students take alignment modules, taking into account their previous education, in those areas in which they have not yet gained sufficient familiarity. Considering the subject breadth, first semester also provides students with battery-specific basic knowledge and initial interdisciplinary in-depth knowledge in the areas of battery system technology, battery materials, and electrochemistry.

In the compulsory curriculum of their second semester, all students extend their knowledge of the material and system side of the battery as well, as the internal processes within a battery cell, in order to gain an overall understanding of the battery. Meanwhile, the compulsory elective modules allow individual in-depth to pursue your specialization.

The third semester is characterized by the joint seminar with the related degree programme "Batterietechnik" and the research modules. With them, you gain insight into current research and apply what you have learned.

The programme concludes with the master's thesis.

Please see the Module Handbook for detailed information.

A current estimate for the global demand of batteries for electric vehicles, stationary storage, and consumer electronics assumes an increase by a factor of nearly 15 by 2030. This enormous growing demand is leading currently to a massive expansion of production capacity throughout Europe and the rest of the world, requiring many more highly-qualified specialists with the necessary battery know-how. Modern, powerful, and sustainably produced batteries are keys for a clean energy future. These are excellent prospects for you, because your Master’s degree equips you for exciting tasks in industry and research.

"Battery Materials and Technology" has scientific orientation and is well suited for applicants which want to pursue a PhD as follow up. Benefit from the close link to the Bavarian Centre for Battery Technology (BayBatt) and be part of the next generation of highly qualified battery researchers!

Students in the Master´s degree programme can be financially supported by individual research fellowships. Fellowships are sufficient to obtain a visum to enter Germany for study, and cover living expenses.

Applications for other financial support for study in the programme through private or public organizations are encouraged and will be supported by us.
