The course in brief

Presentation

The degree in Materials Science and Engineering is interdisciplinary between the fields of chemistry, physics, and engineering on the study and use of materials. It deepens knowledge of physics and chemistry. It studies polymers, alloys and new materials, trying to associate their macroscopic properties with microscopic ones. With the experimental thesis, materials with specific performance are studied and designed.

You can also enroll in the international master's Serp+.

Learning by doing

Visits to companies such as Ferrania Solis, which produces solar panels, and research facilities such as the Synchrotron. Access to advanced research instrumentation.

Professional outlets

The graduate can work in skilled production control and R&S settings in the company, such as quality control and/or property improvement with a view to specific applications. He/she may also undertake scientific research through a doctoral degree.

Did you know that.

A fine luglio di ogni anno accademico a Parigi gli studenti del percorso internazionale si laureano tutti insieme... tutti togati! La gioia è al massimo e volano i cappelli
I laureati del percorso internazionale ottengono il riconoscimento della loro laurea anche negli altri stati dove hanno frequentato per almeno un semestre
Il Direttorato generale dell'educazione della Commissione Europea ha segnalato come 'storia di successo' il percorso internazionale SERP-CHEM

Contents

The course is divided into an ordinary curriculum and an international curriculum.

  • The ordinary curriculum, through classroom and laboratory activities, provides advanced and integrated training in the areas: solid chemistry and physics, physical chemistry, polymeric and composite materials, correlation between structure and properties, preparation methods and instrumental characterization, and production and manufacturing technologies. The course also trains on one or more of the following areas applied to problems of current interest: metallurgy (e.g., for the development of materials for energy), materials for biomedical applications, and corrosion.

    The course provides an initial consolidation of chemical and physical knowledge and develops in the first year much of the knowledge and skills in the above areas common to all students. In the second year, the common and elective activities are completed, and the additional activities (which may be related to the thesis topic or provide cross-curricular skills) and the thesis are carried out.

  • The international curriculum consists of the master SERP+, which allows for a mobility pathway, in order to obtain a title from the partner sites (Paris-South, Poznan and Porto).

Where we are

Lectures and laboratory activities of the compulsory courses and most of the optional courses are held at the classrooms and laboratories of the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry DCCI and the Department of Physics DIFI, at the Valletta Puggia Campus on Dodecanese Street.

Some optional courses are held at the facilities of the Polytechnic School.
