Location of Chalmers University of Technology
Materials science and engineering belongs to a fascinating high-tech field and is of key importance for a sustainable future. Traditional and novel materials are cornerstones in industry and constitute platforms for new technology such as telecommunication and bioimplants. In addition, materials science and engineering is a key technology for environmentally sustainable development, and the importance of materials engineering is therefore growing in society.
Materials Engineering offers a comprehensive education in materials engineering with a focus on the manufacturing industry. In addition, it includes elective courses in the area of e.g. material mechanics, manufacturing technology, materials physics and polymer chemistry. The programme thus offers both depth and flexibility. Our courses are closely linked to industry as well as contemporary research; the degree you receive here will have a wide application.
Who should apply
The programme is intended for students aiming at a career in the application of materials engineering in product development and the manufacturing industry. It also provides a solid background for materials research – industrial or academic. We welcome students with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or chemistry.
Why apply
Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to handle the complexity of materials problems and to find solutions to problems within the entire chain of a product from design, manufacturing and use to recycling to make processes more efficient, cost-competitive and reliable.
Methods of professional materials engineering are reflected in the programme, which provides e.g. knowledge of experimental equipment and modern software for materials simulation and practice in communication and teamwork in projects. Courses cover metals, ceramics and polymers as well as topics of particular interest to industry such as material selection and design, environmental adaptation, failure analysis and materials innovation processes.
Contents
Contemporary challenges related to materials cut across the traditional lines of engineering and science. Courses are run by faculty from several departments at Chalmers. They cooperate within one of our Areas of Advance - Materials Science. Graduates of the programme Materials Engineering" can apply to the joint “Chalmers Graduate School in Materials Science”.
Chalmers has a record of high quality research into e.g. microstructural characterisation, surface engineering, mechanical behaviour, polymer processing and synthesis, high temperature corrosion, powder metallurgy, biomaterials and liquid crystals. At Chalmers, PhD students are involved in teaching, and master’s students can perform small projects as well as large diploma projects within research.
