The Doctoral Program in Materials Sciences arises with the aim of providing the industrial and R & D & I sector with highly qualified professionals in this emerging and interdisciplinary area capable of solving the problems that are formulated in the new and increasingly economically important fields of electronic materials, functional materials, biomaterials and nanomaterials.

The Master’s degree in Material Science aims at training high-skilled professionals in the research and development of innovative functional materials. The program is strongly interdisciplinary (chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, geology) and versatile, offering both strong theoretical courses and applied research-oriented teaching. Students will be able to design, realize, and characterize new materials and exploit the acquired knowledge to develop devices for specific applications. The fields of application include renewable energy, sustainable materials and processes, and environmentally friendly technologies.

The Masters of Science (M.S.) degree program in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is designed for a broad range of students and professionals seeking to expand on their undergraduate training, enhance professional skills, and gain the experience necessary to become a professional scientist/engineer or to obtain a solid foundation for further education in science and engineering.

The Master's degree studies in Materials Science and Engineering (spec. Materials for Energy) are an interdisciplinary course which equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary in the area of advanced materials science, with a particular focus on materials for energy-related applications. The main objective of the course is to develop expertise in materials used in energy generation, storage, and conversion, including their design, characterization, fabrication, and application in diverse energy sectors.

The master's programme in Engineering Materials Science has a cross-functional approach, focusing on the understanding of existing materials, processes and applications, as well as the development of new ones. Students can specialise in Industrial Materials, Materials and Process Design, or Sustainable Materials. Graduates have valuable expertise in materials science needed in many industries and sectors, for example, manufacturing, automotive and energy.

Novel materials have the power to completely transform the health, climate, tech, and energy sectors. Materials engineers learn how to create, test, and implement cutting-edge materials to solve today's and tomorrow’s problems. A fundamental understanding of materials science, materials engineering, and manufacturing are critical for students with a BS degree in biomedical engineering, civil engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or other backgrounds to further their materials knowledge. Through this professional training, students will be equipped with the knowledge needed to diversify career opportunities in academia, industry, and startups.

A graduate certificate in materials science and engineering that develops a foundation of materials-oriented knowledge, conceptualization, product development, and production decisions needed to strive in engineering.

The Master's Degree in Materials Science and Engineering aims to provide comprehensive, advanced and specialized training in the field of materials and their associated technologies.

Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field investigating the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. Materials Scientists and Engineers are at the center of virtually every area of technology from optoelectronics to space materials and from automotive and automotive manufacturing to biomedical devices.

Master in Materials Engineering provides advanced education in materials engineering, with two fields of specialization: a more generalized education in materials and another in metallurgy. The study cycle offers a background in materials science and technology, focusing on product design, processing technologies, and characterization techniques, addressing all classes of materials in the specialization on materials and, more specifically, metallic materials in the case of the specialization in metallurgy. This is complemented with education in management and interdisciplinary competencies.

The doctor of philosophy program in materials engineering and science (MES) offers a student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of materials production, behavior, and applications. The student will undertake multidisciplinary approaches, combining the basic elements of both engineering and science, to the solution of materials-related problems. Because such problems are found in every science and engineering discipline, the degree applicant has considerable flexibility in the selection of the department in which to pursue dissertation research, within the confines of the applicant‘s academic preparation and interests. Candidates will study either a science or engineering emphasis within the MES Ph.D. program. For example, research emphasis may be placed on improving processes for the production of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, or other structural or electronic materials. Alternatively, the degree candidate may investigate mechanisms for improving material properties, which in turn, could lead to new or better applications. Classroom and individualized instruction will provide the necessary theory to complement such creative activities.
