• The Master of Applied Natural Sciences at the University of Koblenz-Landau (on the Koblenz Campus) is an interdisciplinary program that enables graduates of Bachelor's programs in applied natural sciences to work in research fields comprising chemistry, physics and material sciences.
• It combines concepts of chemistry and physics in material science as well as environmental sciences and offers a broad range of electives, as e.g. mathematics, biology, geoscience, economics, and computer science.
• Material science in a scientific point of view connects the characteristics on the microscopic scale their effects (expected or undesirable) on a macroscopic scale being important for applications.
• The international Master of Science in Applied Natural Sciences integrates concepts of chemistry and physics and neighbouring sciences, such as environmental sciences, which is of increasing importance in terms of environmental protection.
• Due to its interdisciplinary and applied approach, the program enables its graduates to synthesize and characterize functional materials, but it is not an engineering program.
• An international direction of the study program is realized by our international research staff, regular talks of guest lecturers from abroad, and internships that can be undertaken all over the world. All mandatory courses are taught in English.
• The program can be completed entirely in English. However, German language skills are highly recommended for internships (not required) or later work in regional industry.

• Winter semesters begins in October. • Summer semester begins in March/April. • Students requiring visa must apply accordingly.

The following course plan allows compliance with the standard period of study, as the compulsory modules planned for each semester are coordinated by the examination board without any overlap. Variable are the times of the internship (possible in each semester break) and the elective modules.

• The University of Koblenz · Landau is one of the youngest universities in Germany and has grown considerably in its relatively short history.
• Since its transformation from a teacher training college in 1990, numerous new departments and institutes have sprung up. In addition, a wide range of new degree programs and chairs have been created, and existing courses and research consistently expanded.
• At the eight existing faculties on the two campuses in Koblenz and Landau, you can currently study Education, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, Computer Science (Koblenz) and Psychology (Landau). Since 1990 the number of students has increased dramatically to about 17.000 enrolled students, with approximately 8.500 at each campus.
• A special feature of the University of Koblenz · Landau is its structure. Koblenz and Landau provide excellent facilities for research, teaching and continuing education, while Mainz serves as the link between the two campuses, housing the President's office as well as being the home of the university executive and central university administration.
