The course in brief

Presentation

Science of the past, present and future aimed at creating materials suitable for multiple applications.

The course provides basic chemistry, physics and mathematics skills to be applied in the laboratory for the characterization of materials as diverse as polymers, metals and advanced materials. The final exam includes an internship or apprenticeship in a company or research institution to get in touch with the working world and learn about the frontiers of research.

Learning by doing

Physics, chemistry and materials characterization laboratories, internships in companies or research institutions including abroad.

Professional outlets

Technical roles and quality control and certification in industry and services, Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering in all Italian locations, in Chemical Science and Industrial Chemistry in Genoa, International Serp+ Master's degree.

tirocinio

affrontare concretamente un problema di scienza dei materiali

Did you know that.

Lo scienziato dei materiali è sulla frontiera dell'innovazione. È uno scienziato multidisciplinare: ha un po' del chimico, un po' del fisico e un po' dell'ingegnere

Le sfide dello scienziato dei materiali sono creare nuovi materiali elettronici, nuove plastiche, nuovi tessuti, sviluppare sostanze utili per trasportare le medicine nel corpo, controllare e certificare i materiali e le loro proprietà

Lo scienziato dei materiali si inserisce rapidamente nel modo del lavoro: moltissimi settori della produzione industriale hanno bisogno di lui

Knowing the materials

Objective of the course is to train a figure who knows the physical and chemical properties of materials, has experimental skills for their characterization and technical-professional skills for their use for application purposes. To this end, it provides:

  • a thorough basic knowledge of physics and chemistry in their experimental and theoretical aspects
  • an adequate knowledge of mathematics and computer tools for managing data and results
  • a sound working methodology and an interdisciplinary problem-solving-oriented approach
  • specific laboratory skills, through a plurality of techniques in the fields of characterization, analysis and synthesis of materials
  • skills in scientific communication and coordinated work within groups.
  • .

The training course includes:

  • mandatory attendance at laboratories, one or more for each of the first five semesters
  • mandatory internship in semester VI
  • basic physics and chemistry courses flanked by mathematics courses particularly oriented toward problem solving
  • several specific teachings of Materials Science.

The faculty consists of scholars from diverse backgrounds who conduct research in Materials Science.

Coordinator

Welcome. Materials science is a fairly young undergraduate course designed to give you a solid foundation in chemistry, physics and mathematics and immediately enable you to put it into practice in the laboratory. You will then have an in-depth understanding of the nature and properties of a wide variety of materials and be able to design new ones that are as functional and revolutionary as possible.
