Introductory events in winter semester
On Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 am and 3:00 pm there will be an introductory event for first-year Master's students. The introductory events have the same content; it is therefore only necessary to attend one event.
In the introductory event, the curriculum of the study programme will be presented and informations about the start of the study programme will be given. The introductory event will be offered by the student representatives of Materials Science and the programme coordinator/subject advisor Ralf Schacherl.
The introductory event will be held online via the following WebEx access:

In October, a kick-off event for the study year Material Science in Presence is planned. The exact date of this event will be announced on the programme website.
On the following website you will find detailed information about the curriculum:

- International students
The most important information for a successful start at the University of Stuttgart.
Class schedules, lectures at the Institute for Materials Science and further information is published on the institute's website.
What job prospects are available to me after graduation?
The degree allows you to choose from a wide offer of occupations ranging from material selection and counseling to quality management. It qualifies you to work independently and autonomously in industrial research as well as basic research in public institutions.
Doctorate
Approximately half of all Masters of Science in Materials Science students earn their PhD and thereby specialize themselves in academic working techniques. Compared to many other subjects, earning a PhD is not mandatory in Materials Science: The employment prospects within industry are not any lower without a PhD title. Should you be striving for an academic career path though, then earning a PhD is a necessity. The strong academic environment in Stuttgart makes for relatively favorable conditions to earn a PhD as well as an academic career path.
