Study programs
IMAT Master offers two tracks for master-level qualifications: IMAT Master of Science and IMAT Master of Engineering. These two-year programmes (4 semesters in total) are entirely taught in English. As opposed to IMAT Master of Engineering -a dual-degree offered in partnership with the partner universities-, IMAT Master of Science is entirely conducted in Germany at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld.
While the core modules are shared by both study programs, the specialisation modules, which are specific to the respective partner university offering them are selected at the discretion of the student. Besides the core- and specialization modules, a spectrum of electives including foreign languages is also offered.
