About this programme
Materials Science and Technology is a master's programme focusing on developing and commercialising new materials and their applications. Studies of materials science are combined with acquiring the basics of entrepreneurship. 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. Graduates can work as specialists in materials development in manufacturing enterprises and research institutions, start and run new small and medium businesses handling materials or continue their studies at the doctoral level. Graduates of the Materials Science and Technology master's programme have a comprehensive and systematic understanding of modern materials, encompassing their structure, properties, manufacturing technologies, and principal methods for research and testing. This foundation is complemented by a broad awareness of the latest developments, subjects, and practical applications within the field of materials science. Furthermore, students gain specialised knowledge in specific research areas, enhancing their expertise and positioning them as knowledgeable contributors to the discipline. The programme also introduces the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, fostering an appreciation of the intricate relationship between materials science and the business sector. This knowledge equips graduates to undertake scientific and deve
