A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 75 credits in physics, chemistry, materials science and/or materials engineering; and 15 credits in mathematics.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
Innovation in material science creates opportunities for development in all other fields of technology. The availability of raw materials is finite, so there is a growing need to develop new sustainable materials and technologies – not least in the energy sector. The Master's Programme in Materials Science prepares you to deal with these challenges , from a sustainability perspective. Studying in the Master's Programme in Materials Science means that you get to learn how new materials are developed, what properties they have, how they are used, and how you design, modify and manufacture them. The programme includes courses ranging from fundamental theory to different application areas. During the programme you can expect to: participate in the daily activities of research groups; be involved in two unique project courses; and acquire a personal network of excellent and world-leading research. The Department of Physics and Astronomy, Department of Chemistry as well as the Department of Materials Science at Uppsala University have world-leading research in materials science. Together they host this interdisciplinary and research-oriented programme. Your studies will be located at the Ångström Laboratory, which is one of Europe's most advanced research environments for materials sci
