During your studies, we'll teach you how to transform the world around you into a digital environment, fly drones, use state-of-the-art GPS devices, use artificial intelligence, and create 3D models.

The follow-up master's study of Masters in Nanotechnology is intended for graduates of a bachelor's study of Nanotechnology or branches focused primarily on materials science, applied physics and chemistry. Theoretical subjects, dealing with the relationship between the structure and optical, magnetic and other properties of nanomaterials, are supplemented by work in laboratories using modern diagnostic devices.

Masters in Metallurgical Engineering The study program is aimed at educating specialists in modern metallurgy and engineering. Initially, basic common theoretical courses are taught, suitably complemented by courses in materials science, management, and quality management. The study program also covers the subjects of iron and steel production, foundry, and bulk-forming.

The Masters in Actuarial Science at ISEG (University of Lisbon) offers a solid academic foundation in actuarial science, statistics, and finance. It was designed according to the international requirements for the actuarial profession. It is meant to cover most of the course materials indispensable for the accreditation of an actuary in the European Union, in accordance with The Actuarial Association of Europe.

The aim of the program is to prepare the professionals that possess the advanced knowledge and skills in both biotechnology and materials science by combining the desing and problem-solving skills of engineering with the ones of biomedical sciences and are capable of using the acquired knowledge while solving practical problems in the biomedically oriented scientific research.

The study program Masters in Advanced Engineering Materials, taught in English, is a follow-up to the bachelor study program in Materials Engineering. The study program is intended primarily for foreign students – self-payers. The study program focuses on a wide range of advanced engineering materials, their structure and properties, in particular the relationship between material properties and their structure, the possibilities of further material processing and various methods of material properties testing.

Strongly increasing societal demand in the fields of Environment, Sustainable Development and Health, implies a synergy of advanced skills in Chemistry and Biology Sciences. In order to be able to effectively respond to this demand and to implement innovative solutions providing efficient answers to these requests, it is essential to perfectly understand the interaction of contaminants with living organisms and particularly their structures, properties, reactivities/activities in natural ecosystems.

The Master of Applied Genetics at the faculty of Natural Sciences and Medicine will train students to an international standard, incorporating current biomolecular technology. Quite simply, the use of biotechnology, in particular, molecular genetics applications, is now ubiquitous in commerce and research.

The purpose of the MHS in Biomedical Sciences is to produce graduates that are competent in conducting scientific research under minimal guidance in a chosen field and to contribute to knowledge production in that field.

The objective of the course is to train specialists to carry out studies of the territory that serve as a basis for territorial planning in terms of territorial sustainability, as well as natural resources, particularly soil as a scarce resource, by the Administrations and the company.

This programme will give you a thorough understanding of human health and disease. Through compulsory and elective courses and traineeships, you will develop a strong basis for a career in the field of Biomedical Sciences.

The Department of Chemistry "Ugo Schiff" of the University of Florence offers a new Master course in Advanced Molecular Sciences to train and educate the next generation of chemists on the cutting-edge aspects of research in Chemistry of Materials and Life Sciences that will give them the skills required for an advanced career in industry and academia. The Master will be conducted in English.
