Profile
Materials have always been a limiting factor for innovation and ingenuity. As awareness of the finite nature of raw materials grows, it becomes increasingly important to develop new sustainable materials and technology. Uppsala University conducts world-leading research in materials engineering which, like the Master’s Programme in Materials Engineering itself, takes place at the Ångström laboratory, one the most advanced laboratories for functional materials and energy in Europe.Developing new materials with specific properties is highly important for scientific and technological progress in many areas, such as energy, construction, healthcare, medicine, transport and electronics. Materials engineering is also an important part of sustainability efforts, as many solutions in that area place exacting demands on new materials. Advanced and custom-designed materials, in turn, also place large demands on future manufacturing and recycling technologyAs a student in the master’s programme in materials engineering, you will learn about the structure of different materials, their properties, manufacture, application and how to design, modify and produce materials for high-tech products. Materials engineering is an interdisciplinary subject, and the programme encompasses courses that span basic theory to various areas of application. You will gain broad knowledge as well as cutting-edge expertise, including critical analysis, holistic assessments, and problem solving that involves materials in different waysThe materials industry is characterised by a large focus on research. Nearly all the teachers in the programme are active researchers, which combined with access to modern experimental equipment guarantees that what you learn is cutting-edge and that you will gain a very competitive set of skills in the subject.Student profileYou are someone with not only a theoretical foundation in materials science, but also curiosity about how the development and intelligent application of materials can help solve a variety of real-life problems.
