Profile
If asphalt could be designed so that it repaired itself, all that inconvenience and congestion that results from road repair would be a thing of the past. And if lighter materials could replace the current metals in auto bodies at an affordable price, far less fuel would be required to get from point A to point B. Those challenges are the sort that materials engineers and materials scientists confront every day in their work.Materially importantMaterials Science & Engineering is concerned with the development of materials that meet and exceed performance expectations for specific functions. It is also concerned with the manufacturing processes that convert basic materials into final engineered products and with the design of innovative new materials for the continuously evolving needs of society.What you will learnThe MSc Programme in Materials Science & Engineering combines studies of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials with the training in production techniques and the selection of appropriate materials for a wide range of applications. In the programme, you will gain an understanding of the behaviour of materials under different conditions and learn how to assess their suitability in products and industrial processes. You will study the design of new material properties at nano and micro levels to suit applications on a macro scale. The programme focuses in particular on the design of new materials, including, for example, self-healing materials.Theoretical and appliedCovering subjects from atoms to applications and from design to disposal, the Materials Science & Engineering programme is well-suited to meet the expectations of students with a more theoretical background and those with backgrounds in applied science or engineering.The Master’s programme Materials Science and Engineering offers four specialisations:-Materials in Engineering Applications (MEA)The focus is on the usage of materials in applications and structures by paying attention to processing, joining, selection and failure of materials. An obligatory internship is part of this specialisation.-Advanced Construction Materials: Roads & Buildings (ACM)This specialisation focuses on civil engineering and infrastructure industries and allows materials science MSc students to study modelling and experimental aspects of advanced construction materials in depth.-Metals Science and Technology (MST)Attention is paid to the design and performance of metallic microstructures by considering aspects like phase transformations, strengthening mechanisms and processing and by studying computational materials science and corrosion science.-Materials for Sustainable Development (MSD)The emphasis is on materials engineering in the context of sustainable resources (materials and energy) and environmental impact. Concepts such as clean energy technologies, high temperature performance and recycling of materials are discussed.
