Overview
As a student in the Materials Engineering program from Uppsala University 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 ways
The 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.
Career:
You can work as a researcher and specialist or materials expert with a broad skill set, for instance in positions involving implementation and holistic assessment as a project manager or coordinator, communications officer or in sales - tech firms can often make use of candidates qualified in materials in many different rolesYou can also choose to pursue PhD studies, either at Uppsala University or at other Swedish or foreign universities.
Upon completion of a PhD, you may choose to continue on to research inside the academy or at a company, but you will also be an attractive candidate for many positions in the labour market
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- During the initial part of the first semester, courses will be tailored in order to ensure all students share a common foundation of knowledge, regardless of their academic background. This can be in the form of, for instance, an individually designed supplementary course in materials engineering, materials chemistry or solid mechanics.
- The second part of the first semester and the second semester offer in-depth courses in materials analysis, materials mechanics, microsystem technology and nanomaterials. Furthermore, sustainable development is an important issue that will be discussed specifically in the course "Sustainable materials development", but also through the entire programme
