In this Master’s programme you will study the synthesis and properties of materials, and how these properties are linked to material structure. The physics and chemistry courses in the programme provide a fundamental understanding of how material properties are linked to atomic and molecular structure.
You will study materials using advanced spectroscopy, diffraction and microscopy techniques. In your studies you will be introduced to and potentially use two world-leading research facilities in Lund: the synchrotron radiation facility MAX IV Laboratory and the forthcoming neutron source ESS (European Spallation Source).
The Master’s programme is strongly linked to research, with close connections to research teams in materials science. All teaching staff in the programme are researchers, so the courses are continuously adapted to reflect current research.
The programme has a flexible structure and enables you to combine theory and computation with experimental work.
Bachelor’s degree of at least 180 credits in physics or the equivalent. The degree must include at least 90 credits in physics. English course 6/English level 2 (advanced proficiency).
