Abstract

An international study course program in Materials Science and Engineering based on innovative concepts in engineering education has been introduced by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Kiel for students from Germany and especially from abroad. The study program offers advanced materials science education culminating in the internationally recognized degree “Master of Materials Science and Engineering”. It aims at providing students with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of a global job market and the demands of industry and research institutions in modern industrial societies. Some of the main characteristics of the program for which tuition fees are not required comprise theoretical teaching and lab training modules held in English language, internet teaching modules, a broad choice of courses including courses in nontechnical skills, a Master thesis in areas of functional or structural materials, collaboration with research institutes, as well as participation in the European credit point transfer system for international acceptance of the course work. The program has started successfully in 1999 with students coming mainly from the Eastern European countries.
