Materials Science
This degree program is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to become an expert in innovative and advanced materials. The course is interdisciplinary and located halfway between physics and chemistry. Graduates in materials science will have the knowledge and flexibility to be able to handle the materials used in future technologies.
Subjects of Study
Fundamentals of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry necessary for a description of the structural and electronic properties of solid matter. It will also introduce the fundamentals of Computer Science and Numerical Calculations. The main subjects of study include Crystallography, Chemistry and Solid State Physics and Surfaces, Methodologies for the Preparation and Characterization of Materials.
The competence and motivation of the teaching staff guarantees high efficiency in training.
Teaching Methods
