Advanced Material Analysis Master
This page serves as an overview of important information about the Master's programme Advanced Materials Analysis. The first part deals with the abundance of compulsory modules in the semesters and initial information on elective modules. A precise breakdown and sorting as well as tips and tricks can be found further down. The tips are purely from the point of view of the regulations. Which modules are nice to take or have easy exams is completely disregarded here. In terms of planning, it also makes sense to read up on all semesters first and then make decisions.
Study and Examination Regulations 2023
General information
The programme consists of 120 credit points (CP), i.e. 4 semesters of an average of 30 CP. These are composed of:
- 98 CP Compulsory modules
- 16 CP Elective modules
- 6 CP Free elective modules
The term "SWS" means the hours you have to spend per week per semester in face-to-face teaching units.

4th Semester
The last half year before you receive your M.Sc. degree is coming up. This semester is all about the Master's thesis. Good luck to you who are reading this right now. I am proud of you that you have successfully completed the previous semesters and I am sure that you will also manage the last half year!
Elective modules
Modules amounting to 16 CP are to be selected from the given catalogue in any semester.
Modules amounting to 6 CP are to be selected from all catalogues of the Bergakademie Freiberg.

4th Semester
The last half year before you receive your M.Sc. degree is coming up. This semester is all about the Master's thesis. Good luck to you who are reading this right now. I am proud of you that you have successfully completed the previous semesters and I am sure that you will also manage the last half year!
Elective modules
Modules amounting to 33 CP are to be selected from the given catalogue in any semester.
At the beginning of the degree programme, depending on the student's entry requirements, compulsory elective modules of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg amounting to up to 8 credit points must be completed. These are primarily intended to compensate for missing basics. With the admission to the Master's programme, the examination board announces those modules that the students should have completed in order to be sufficiently prepared for the studies in this degree programme. If fewer than 8 credit points are imposed, the student must complete the credit points missing for 8 credit points from the advanced elective modules.
The minimum of 25 credit points from the advanced elective modules are to be fulfilled from the given catalogue.
