Master's Programme in Advanced Materials

About this programme

The Master’s Programme in Advanced Materials gives you in-depth knowledge of materials science, physics and engineering, with a focus on nanomaterials and sustainable materials for energy applications. You combine theoretical studies with laboratory work, projects and computer simulations, gaining practical experience in developing, producing and characterising advanced materials. During the programme, you will deepen your knowledge of materials science and learn how materials can be developed and tailored for different technical applications. The programme has a particular focus on nanomaterials, sustainable materials and materials for energy-related applications. You will work both theoretically and practically with materials and technical challenges. Many courses include laboratory work or computer simulations, and teaching takes place through lectures, seminars, projects and laboratory sessions. Through the programme, you will develop the ability to analyse materials and solve technical problems, both independently and in collaboration with others. You will also gain experience in addressing research and development challenges, preparing you for further studies or careers in areas such as materials development, energy engineering, and other advanced technological fields. The programme is taught in English. You normally study two parallel courses during each study period, with two study periods in each semester. Laboratory work is carried out, among other places, in the Materials and Innovation Laboratory (MILAB). The teaching staff are active researchers in materia
