Who should enrol ? / Profile ?

Students strongly motivated to pursue a career in materials science and engineering or heading for industrial sectors dealing with materials and who hold a basic three or four year Bachelor's degree in one of the engineering or physical sciences can apply for the programme.

The programme relies on the basics of materials science: i.e., physics, mathematics, and chemistry. Courses on physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials, on thermodynamics and transport phenomena are prerequisites for the Master's programme. Materials engineering fundamentals courses, however, are given/presented for those who do not have this background. Our Master's programme provides the scientific and technical knowledge needed for our graduates to excel in the development and evaluation of new materials and processes applicable in the wide field of materials science and engineering. Additionally, communication, presentation, and social skills will be honed in an international environment.
