elective Courses, additional courses
„Elective Courses Materials Science“ (29 CP) prepare your personal program, discuss it with your mentor, best right away (now!)
may also include Materials Science related courses outside the department
(e.g. physics, chemistry, mech. eng., electr. eng., master course „Energy Science and Engineering“…)
incl. adjustment course „Concepts in Materials Physics“, if applicable (CPs count towards degree!)
does not include other obligations/Auflagen
give personal list of modules with mentor‘s signature to study office
only modules with numerical grade!! pass/fail is not acceptable!!
„Elective Courses (not Materials Science)“ (9 CP) choose for yourself or discuss with mentor
few courses in English language at TU Darmstadt
list of already approved courses: see pdf file on Master page and „2. Fachübergreifende Wahlpflichtfächer“ and „3. Ergänzendes oder fachübergreifendes Wahlpflichtfach (passend für beide Kategorien)“ in list „bereits genehmigte Wahlpflichtveranstaltungen“ on Bachelor homepage
may also be from natural sciences or engineering, but only if not Materials Science related
for other than already approved choices: if uncertain get approvement from PD Dr. B. Kastening
English language courses only if they extend beyond admission level for Master course
grade does not count towards GPA (even if module is graded)
„Additional courses:“ ad libitum
![Page 5: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
exams: FP and SL
• FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts
After failing twice in same exam, talk to your mentor!
If you and teacher agree: third attempt of written exam may be taken as oral exam instead
Once during Master course, oral last-chance attempt possible after three failed writtenattempts („mündliche Ergänzungsprüfung“)
• SL, SLb = Studienleistung (SL: pass/fail, SLb: graded): study achievement without limitations on number of attempts
in Materials Science:
concerns Labs, Seminars
automatically registered for „exams“
(Lab: successfully carrying out all experiments;
Seminar: Successful seminar talk and seminar participation)
• Master thesis: two attempts
once: possibility to return subject latest after 8 weeks without failed attempt
![Page 6: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
exams continued
written exams: register in TUCaN in time:
Mat.Sci. exams: until 8 days before exam
exams outside Mat. Sci.: check in TUCaN and with professor/lecturer!
Changed your mind? Deregister at least 8 days before exam!
oral exams: registration: as above for written exams
arrange for appointment yourself!
„Elective Courses Materials Science:“ try to bundle 2 (up to 3) exams withsimilar subjects and make appointment with respective professors/lecturers
if sick: if you are sick and it is too late for deregistering:
Get physician‘s certificate that you were „unable to participate in an exam“ (not: „unable to work“!) and give to students‘ office within three calendardays (if no working day: next working day thereafter)
![Page 7: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
calculation of final GPA
exam grades weighed with CPs of their modules: mandatory lectures
Quantum Mechanics/Micromechanics
Elective Courses Materials Science
grade weighed with 1,5 x CPs: Master Thesis
no contribution to final GPA: Elective Courses (not Materials Science)

Functional Materials
New BSc and MSc study regulations since WS 2015/16:
„Functional Materials“ has been shifted from Bachelor to Master course.
„Materials Engineering“ has been shifted from Master to Bachelor course (now called„Werkstoffherstellung und -verarbeitung“ in the Bachelor course).
Consequences:
Bachelor graduates in Materials Science of TU Darmstadt are not allowed to take„Functional Materials“ for credit again. Choose elective courses instead (6 CP).
Encouraged option: „Werkstoffherstellung und –verarbeitung“ (note: only 5 CP!)
- „Functional Materials“ is offered regularly in WS 17/18, but additional offer:
German version „Funktionsmaterialien“ as block course (6 times/week): April 24-May 31
![Page 9: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mat.Sci.Modules not in Module Guide
There may be Materials Science modules in the area „ElectiveCourses Materials Science“ in TUCaN that are not part of themodule guide, e.g. since they are not regularly offered: check in TUCaN!
only examples for SS 2017:
11-01-3012 Werkstoffherstellung und –verarbeitung (old„Materials Engineering“ module, now in German, since nowregularly part of the Bachelor course; all current Bachelor graduates may take this as part of their Master curriculum)
11-01-2017 In-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy
Sorry, this course has been postponed to WS 2017/18.

only interesting for students with Bachelor from TU Darmstadt:
Vorgezogene Masterleistungen aus B.Sc.
Bitte nach Immatrikulation in Masterstudiengang in TUCaN
an Frau Ziegler-Krutz, damit Leistungen in den Masterstudiengang umgehängt werden können.
![Page 11: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
mentoring system
Mentors:personal advicefrom professors
up to 11 students per professorregister via TUCaN for „module“ specific to professor
Choose mentor according to your academic interests!
Register in TUCaN and arrange for an appointment yourself!
The sooner the better, latest at the end of the first semester, else no more registration in TUCaN possible!
not enforced (but stronlgy recommended) for FAME students
![Page 12: Course of Studies Materials Science with degree Master of ... · exams: FP and SL • FP = Fachprüfung: Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts After failing twice](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060407/5f0fc8217e708231d445da88/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

if already done for Bachelor course, you‘re done
if in the FAME program, you‘re done
all others:
internship with duration of at least 6 weeks, with report
at company or research lab outside TU Darmstadt
relation to materials science
finish before starting master thesis
apprenticeship or work experience in related areas is also fine(show documents to Ms. Dr. S. Faßbender)
get approvement beforehand (talk to Ms. Dr. S. Faßbender)
