How to apply
What you need to apply for Materials Science at University of Stuttgart
Materials Science is taught in English. A German language test is therefore not necessary in order to be accepted.
In order to study you must show proof that you have advanced English skills of at least level C1. You will need either:
one of the following tests with the indicated results: TOEFL PBT: 575 points; TOEFL CBT 225 points; TOEFL iBT 90 points; IELTS mind. band 6.5; Cambridge ESOL CAE/CPE or
at least six semesters on a Bachelor’s study program in the English language. In this case provide a written confirmation of your home university that the medium of instruction was English or
Germans and foreigners with German education: the proof of five years of English instruction at school ("Sekundarstufe I und II"), with a grade of at least 4.0 in the last two years, is sufficient.

What to prepare for your application to Materials Science
The following documents are required for your application
Bachelor and/or diploma degree
Certificate with the cumulative grade of your degree
Transcript of records, indicating all courses with the grade and the number of credit points and/or the number of hours.
Certification of your English fluency (see above).
A very short letter to explain your motivation for studying a graduate program in material science. This letter must contain a short summary of your previous bachelor studies, i.e. state the total number of credit points earned in your Bachelor studies and the total duration of the program, state the number of credit points earned in the following subtopics:
mathematics,
physics and physical chemistry
general chemistry
organic chemistry and polymer science
quantum mechanics
material science
Completely filled out supplementary form
If one of the indicated documents is missing the application can not be considered.
The admission process
Your application will go through an admission process, which is performed by the admission board of the study course Materials Science. In the admission process, points will be awarded as follows:
Maximal 80 points can be achieved, if the curriculum of your Bachelor and the Bachelor in Materials Science at the University of Stuttgart show strong correlation in the contents of mathematics, physics, chemistry and materials science.In addition, maximal 20 points can be achieved if you have obtained your Bachelor degree with particularly high marks.
It is therefore possible to reach maximal 100 points. With more than 80 points, you will get the admission for the Master directly. If less than 60 points have been assigned, you are not admitted. Between 61 and 80 points, you may be invited for an interview at the university in order to clarify your qualification.

Admission Requirements
As a consecutive program for graduate students, the Master Courses in Material Science require an approriate Bachelor degree. Beside the dedicated material topics (e.g. physical metallurgy, crystallography, materials chemistry, mechanisms of mechanical strength, polymeric materials, ceramics), a qualifying bachelor program must have a strong record in natural science and mathematics. You must demonstrate a sound introduction to solid state and organic chemistry as well as quantum and solid state physics. As a rule, a classical program in Mechanical Engineering or Mechantronics does not represent a sufficient preparation, except with an extraordinary focus on materials.
The complete information on the admission process, required knowledge of English, and the criteria for the assessment of professional suitability can be found in the admission regulations.
The Master course Materials Science is taught in English. A German language test is therefore not necessary in order to be accepted.
In order to study you must show proof that you have advanced English skills of at least level C1. You will need either:
