Master inženjerstva materijala i nanotehnologije

The course will focus on the relationship among processing, properties, and structure of all materials of industrial interest, i.e. metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, and semiconductors. Nanomaterials and their applications in electronic and other fields are also objects of the courses.

During the first year fundamentals of chemistry and physics of materials and of transport phenomena are provided. Then the course will focus on fabrication technologies and properties of polymers, metals, ceramic, composites, biomaterials and nano structured materials. In the second year specific courses are devoted to materials for sustainability and nanotechnology for electronics.

While maintaining the connotation of an engineering degree, it has chemistry, physics, and electronics, as well as industrial and materials engineering among its teachings. The "cross-fertilization" between different disciplinary fields, which, pushes the trainees to embrace the problems in an organic and complete way, teaches them to analyse new problems using different approaches. Visits to industrial plants are usually performed during courses. Stages and master thesis are also possible.

Internships in companies and research centeres and visits to company and internationals fairs are organized

Mission

The University of Salento is a community, made up of students, teachers, and technical-administrative staff, which recognizes itself in the free promotion of research and teaching as tools for human development, the affirmation of pluralism, and the pursuit of equal social dignity, in full independence from any ideological, political, religious or economic orientation.
