Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology

A Bachelor Degree in Industrial Engineering or in other material-related Degrees (e.g. Applied Physics and Chemistry).

This Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme is taught entirely in English to stimulate the student in acquiring greater familiarity with the terminology used internationally. The objective of the programme is to prepare a professional figure expert in materials and in the design of processes and manufactured goods. Within the scope of the study plan a number of specific specialisations are foreseen: Surface Engineering, Polymer Engineering, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology, Engineering Applications, Microengineering and Microtechnology, Sustainability Engineering.

A total amount of 120 credits (CFUs) is required for Master of Science graduation. The Master degree in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at the Politecnico di Milano requires at least 45 CFUs in the following specific subjects: Solid State Physics (FIS/03), Chemistry Technology (CHIM/07), Structure Mechanics (ICAR/08), Metallurgy (ING-IND/21), Materials Science and Technology (ING-IND/22), and at least 12 CFUs in the following additional subjects: Mechanics of Machines (ING-IND/13), Mechanical Design and Machine Construction (ING-IND/14), Fabrication Technologies (ING-IND/16), Applied Physical Chemistry (ING-IND/23), Industrial Bioengineering (ING-IND/34), Physical Mathematics (MAT/07). 20 CFUs are also required for the Master thesis. In order to strengthen the practical and laboratory activities, each student must include in their study plan at least one of the 5 CFU courses offered in the LAB Group.

The Laurea Magistrale graduate in Materials and Nanotechnology Engineering has the ability to devise and manage innovation in the materials industry; he/she finds employment mainly in companies specialised in producing, processing and design various materials and components, as well as in the area of the development of new applications in the mechanical, chemical, electronics, energy, telecommunications, construction, transport, biomedical, environmental and restoration industries as well as in research and development centres of companies and public bodies.
