Materials Physics

Overview

Improvement of the properties of materials is one of the cornerstones of the modern world, leading to new, better products and equipment that are stronger, more sustainable and more efficient. It is such discoveries that the graduates of this Materials Physics program from Kaunas University of Technology seek, who during their studies delve into fundamental and applied physics, study the structure of materials, ways to improve and synthesize materials.

This, together with the mastery of methodology and technique for technological measurements of materials, makes them proficient in processing and analysing experimental results.

These studies combine fundamental and engineering competencies, with a strong focus on practical skills and the application of high technologies (micro- and nanotechnologies)

A unique to Lithuania MA+ study model allows students either to aim for excellence in a chosen speciality field or to strengthen their interdisciplinary competencies by choosing different elective study paths.
