Course description

The programme, which requires a solid grounding in any area of industrial engineering for admission, provides training in the phenomena underlying the behaviour of materials and their transformation processes (chemistry, physics, computational mechanics, transport phenomena, physical chemistry). Alongside these disciplines, technological in-depth studies enable students to measure the properties of materials, design new ones and devise and develop the related transformation processes, in particular those involving physical and/or chemical transformations.
Throughout the programme, particular emphasis is placed on the complex structure-property-process relationships of materials: only a thorough knowledge of these relationships, for each class of materials, makes it possible to understand and solve highly complex problems in materials engineering.
A highly significant aspect of the training is the interdisciplinarity of the programme: the characterising subjects are typical of chemistry, physics, industrial engineering and the mechanics of materials. This feature allows continuous cross-fertilisation between different disciplinary areas, encouraging students to approach problems comprehensively, to analyse them from several points of view and to consider their complexity through different approaches.

Admission to the Master's Degree in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology is open to graduates in classes L-9 (industrial engineering), L-27 (chemical sciences and technologies) and L-30 (physical sciences and technologies).
A dedicated Committee verifies the adequacy of the candidate's preparation through specific admission tests. These tests also include an assessment of English-language knowledge; this may be replaced by an English-language certification of at least level B2 of the CEF or an equivalent qualification.
Tests are also provided to verify adequate knowledge of Italian. Where the assessment of the level of Italian is not passed, students must include in their study path 'Further language knowledge' aimed at learning/improving their knowledge of Italian.
