Study at Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Information about programmes at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Materials are needed everywhere and it pushes the limits of all technologies, not least in solving today's most challenging energy and environmental problems.
Material Science Education
How does a solar cell work? How can we use micro- and nanotechnology in engineering and science? How to produce biomaterials that recreate human tissue? This and much more can be studied at our department.
Material Science is interdisciplinary, encompassing mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering, with applications in all sectors and areas of society, such as IT and digitalisation, electronics and microsensors, healthcare and medicine, energy generation and storage, construction, transport and manufacturing.
We offer various programmes and courses for those who are interested in immersing themselves in the important subject of materials science.
Find out more about the courses and programmes we are responsible for, and where our experts lead the way in materials science.
Education programmes at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Master's Programme in Additive Manufacturing
As a master's student in Additive Manufacturing, you will learn to create complex physical objects through 3D printers and computer-assisted design processes in everything from amorphous metals to biocompatible materials.
Master's Programme in Materials Engineering
As awareness of the finite nature of raw materials grows, so does the need to develop new sustainable materials and technologies. The Master Programme in Materials Engineering prepares you to take on these challenges.
Master's Programme in Energy Technology – ENTECH
The Master Programme in Energy Engineering provides you with knowledge of energy technologies and skills in problem solving, innovation and leadership. The programme is a collaboration between four European universities and you will study at several of them during the programme.
Freestanding Courses
We also offer courses within our master's programmes and within several of the university's engineering programmes, but which cannot be taken as stand-alone courses.
