InSL is responsible for general questions regarding the organisation of studies and regular enquiries from students of our faculty. From our central contact point, students are referred to the right contact person, e.g. the examination board, if necessary with a concrete appointment. For all international questions you can still contact ISIM directly. You can find out more in our section Tasks.

For questions specific to the course of studies in materials science and materials engineering, students may contact the Student Advisory Service MatWerk. Students of the interdepartmental study program Mechatronics and Information Technology may contact the study program service Bachelor MIT and the study program service Master MIT for program-specific questions.

The examination boards of the respective degree programs are responsible for applications in special cases, such as deadline extensions or hardship applications. Examination boards
