The internationally-oriented "Digitalisation & Sustainability in Materials Science & Engineering" Master’s programme offers an interdisciplinary curriculum, combining the three areas of Materials Science, Digitalisation, and Sustainability. The programme is designed to cover all essential topics in these fields while allowing you the flexibility to choose your areas of focus.
- How it is organised
- The DSMSE Master’s programme is divided into two phases: a basic part and a specialisation part. In the first year, students complete basic modules in Materials Science, Informatics, and Sustainability. The second year includes advanced modules, research projects, and the Master's thesis.
- Part-time work
- There are many ways for international students to earn money while they study, but there are some restrictions. For more detailed information, please visit the DAAD website.
- Support for international students
- Support for international students can be found at the International Office of the University of Bayreuth.
From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
