Language English TOEFL iBT: 80 IELTS: 5.5 Delivered On Campus Campus Location Erlangen, Germany Disciplines Materials Science, Physics Overview About the programme With this concept, we aim to develop novel catalytic materials that combine selectivity, productivity, robustness, and ease of processing at the highest level. Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) consists of four strongly interlinked research areas. All approaches centre on solid-supported liquids of ultralow vapour pressure to enable stable catalytic performance in continuous gas-phase reactions. CLINT is made possible by a large group of experienced researchers aiming to investigate the topic at hand at various different levels from several different angles. Programme Structure Research areas include: Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions Interface-enhanced SILP (Supported Ionic Liquid Phase) Advanced SCILL (Solid Catalysts with Ionic Liquid Layer) Modelling and Simulation Admission requirements Academic requirements We are not aware of any specific GRE, GMAT or GPA grading score requirements for this programme.
