Master Projects

As part of the Master's degree studies, students need to carry out an individual 8-week research project. During this time the students support the work of a research group at ETH Zurich, thereby enhancing their knowledge and skills.

Students starting in HS 2022 or before need to carry out two projects to complete the curriculum.

Students starting in HS 2023 or after only need to carry out one research project.

The research projects of the Master's degree programme in Materials last 8 weeks or 40 working days. If the project is carried out part-time during the semester (e.g. due to lectures) the duration is extended in a way that the total working time amounts to 40 working days. A Master project is awarded with 12 credit points.

Master projects are usually supervised by a professor of the Department of Materials or another materials-related research group at ETH Zurich (list of research groups working in Materials and Processes). Master projects are not graded and are usually completed with a written report and/or oral presentation.

Please register for the projects on myStudies. If you cannot select your supervisor, contact the D-MATL study administration. Do not forget to hand in the additional Download registration form (PDF, 867 KB) at the D-MATL study administration as well.
