Science and Technology of Materials

The faculty's wide range of scientific expertise allows students to:

- acquire profound scientific and technological knowledge on matter structure at molecular and atomic level

- understanding the correlation of microscopic structure with materials structural and functional properties

- designing materials processes and production with cutting-edge technologies.

To this end, the course includes a variety of educational activities: from lectures to seminars, to research on specific issues. Workshops in which students are trained to design, plan and implement experiments and measurements under professors' supervision and within research groups are frequent and allow them to draft their final dissertation. All this ensures that graduates master not only strong disciplinary knowledge and tools for individual refresh, but also skills such as the ability to simultaneously manage study and work, to work in a team and to express their scientific and technological knowledge in English. For students of the photon curriculum, it is possible to complete the thesis at the Wildau Technische Hochschule (DE), in accordance with the procedures established between the two universities, for the purpose of obtaining the double parchment. Graduates in Science and Technology of Materials are professionals with knowledge allowing their placement in businesses or public and private research centres focusing on new materials development and study.
