- Description/content
- Knowledge of synthesis, properties, and the relation between the structure and properties of materials plays a crucial role for developing new technologies. To obtain a broad and fundamental understanding of materials science, the Master's course of study provides the background for understanding material behaviour for a broad spectrum of material classes (metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, nanomaterials, etc.).
Lectures devoted to material synthesis and production/engineering routes, thermodynamic and kinetics of materials (e.g., phase transformations), and structural (strength) and functional (conductivity, magnetic) properties are cornerstones of the Master's course of study.
