Overview
Materials Science and Technology is a master’s programme with a focus on developing and commercialising new materials and their applications. Studies of materials science and the basics of entrepreneurship are combined with activities aimed at creating a product and its manufacturing technology.
The programme provides knowledge of theoretical principles of materials science, testing and investigation methods and development and design of materials. Students’ development projects are done in cooperation with scientific laboratories where they also perform the experimental part of their master’s thesis.
Why study Materials Science and Technology?
• Focus on developing and commercialising new materials and their applications.
• Each student joins a laboratory and takes part in the scientific work of the lab. You can choose between the labs of the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Institute of Technology.
• An internship is a mandatory part of your studies.
• Professor Mikhail Brik belongs to the top 1% of the most-cited scientists in the world (ESI 2021).
• After graduation, you can work as a specialist, developing materials in manufacturing enterprises, research institutions and laboratories. You can also start a business handling materials or continue your studies at the doctoral level.
