BSc in Materials Science & Engineering

The Bachelor’s program is designed to provide students with a strong and comprehensive foundation in the field of materials. It explores the structure and properties of materials, the principles behind their transformations, and the techniques used to address challenges in materials design and engineering. This well-structured program prepares students for a Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering, offering a broad yet flexible curriculum that supports diverse academic and career paths.

Programme

Typically lasting three years and totaling 180 credits, the Bachelor’s program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, along with essential, multidisciplinary knowledge in materials science. You will study a wide range of materials—including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites—and learn the methods used to analyze and classify them. Complementary practical work and tutorials help you deepen your understanding, apply concepts, and develop hands-on skills.

This technical and scientific training is enriched with courses in social sciences, fostering critical thinking, open-mindedness, and an awareness of how science interacts with society.

In your final year, you will undertake a research project in collaboration with a specialized lab, giving you real-world experience in research and development. This project encourages creativity and helps guide your choice for a Master’s program.

Earning your Bachelor’s degree opens the door to advanced studies in the Master’s program, preparing you for a future in materials science and engineering.

Transferring from another STI Section

Students who successfully complete the first-year exams in one of the STI sections can transfer directly into the second year of the Materials Science and Engineering program.
