At Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel (CAU) students can study materials science as a one-subject bachelor's degree. The student focus is on functional materials made of metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and polymers as well as on their microstructures and composites. In this way, students can approach the questions of which materials they will need in the future for the challenges in the working world and in everyday life and how they can be manufactured, tested, and improved.
