How should I prepare for the dMAT Battery Science module if my degree spans two disciplines?

If your degree spans two disciplines, you are not at a disadvantage on the basic tasks, since the dMAT Battery Science module tests all five engineering areas at basic level regardless of your specific degree. Where you do need to choose is the advanced section, and that choice should follow your strongest coursework, not your official degree title.

Basic vs Advanced: Where Interdisciplinary Study Helps or Doesn't

A Simple Plan for a Mixed Background

• List every final-year and capstone subject you studied, and tally which of the five disciplines each one falls under.
• Choose the advanced module matching the discipline with the highest tally, since that is where you already have the deepest recent grounding.
• Spend a short, focused session refreshing the basic-level topic in your other discipline, since it still appears in the basic tasks even though it is not your advanced choice.
• Contact g.a.s.t. at kontakt@gast.de if your registration form does not clearly let you reflect a dual background.

My Advice

Do not let an interdisciplinary degree make you anxious about this exam. Treat the basic tasks as a five-subject refresher you would do anyway, then commit fully to one advanced track a few weeks out so your last stretch of preparation is deep rather than scattered across two disciplines.
