Materials Science and Engineering Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne

Overview

The Master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering  from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne integrate fundamental knowledge of materials synthesis and processing, materials microstructure and materials properties of polymers, ceramics, metals and alloys, and composites.

This knowledge is then used to improve the performance of engineered products and to design unique new materials for next-generation applications, such as optical and electronic materials and biomaterials with emphasis on sustainable development.

Career options:

Engineers in Materials Science and Engineering (EPFL) use their skills in the classical fields, such as: materials production (metallurgy, ceramics and polymers industries), manufacturing, transport, the watch industry, the construction industry, the food industry, and energy generation and transmission.

On top of that, their competences are very useful in thriving new sectors such as the biomedical industry, composite materials, micro and nanotechnologies, telecommunications, aerospace, as well as high performance sports.
