Materials Science And Technology LUT University

Overview

The programme provides you with solid knowledge about materials from the viewpoint of present-day research and practice. You can apply what you learn to other related areas in mechanical engineering, such as sustainable manufacturing technologies and construction engineering.

The studies consist of materials science and its sub-areas, such as advanced metallic materials, ceramics, carbon-based materials, polymers and biopolymers and minerals. The size effect of the materials on structure (macro/micro/nano) is taken into consideration.

Key Features

• Resource- and energy-efficient ways of processing materials are also in focus in different study modules. Special attention is paid to mixed materials manufactured with processes such as composite manufacturing, additive manufacturing and welding.

• This Master's programme  Materials Science And Technology at LUT University is a unique in Finland, combining knowledge of and working methods in materials science and production engineering. It emphasises a combination of material knowledge and engineering qualifications through project courses in which you apply your knowledge to practice. Projects are carried out in close cooperation with Finnish and global industries.

Career prospects

The programme prepares you for different types of positions in both industry and research organisations. As a graduate, you will possess knowledge, skills and competences to model the behaviour of materials, improve the properties of existing materials and develop novel composite, nano or hybrid materials for innovative applications and various technologies.

In addition, you will learn extensively about modern manufacturing technologies for different material types. You will be well prepared to manage environmental and sustainability viewpoints related to material development and selection. You will be also able to continue your studies at the doctoral level.
