Materials science is one of the keys to a livable future for us all.

Advances in materials science have led to many new technologies and products in the past that impact our daily lives.

As an interdisciplinary subject that encompasses many fields such as chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology, it provides innovations for the mobility industry, energy generation and storage, medical technology, electronics, and many others.

Materials science is a science that aims to develop new materials or processes for manufacturing and processing.

Materials scientists have the potential to develop new materials that have never been seen before, enabling new applications. But they can also give known technologies a new foundation and thus contribute to sustainability. New materials can save energy, conserve resources, and reduce waste, thus reducing environmental impact.

Overall, studying materials science offers many exciting opportunities and can be a rewarding decision if you are interested in developing new technologies and materials.

As an engineering science, materials science can be found in many fields. A broad field of application with a high potential for innovation, especially for sustainable products, opens up a wide variety of career paths and opportunities for personal fulfillment.
