Master’s Degree in Materials Engineering

The Master's Degree in Materials Engineering is a two-year course of the University of Naples Federico II, offered by the Department of Chemical, Materials and Industrial Production Engineering. It prepares graduates able to design, develop and optimise materials with specific properties, to manage production plants and to assess environmental impact. Materials underpin almost all technologies, and their development requires an understanding of the structure at molecular level and of the properties that derive from it. The course combines advanced disciplines in mathematics, chemistry and physics with molecular design and nanotechnologies, to train engineers able to create and optimise materials for different applications.

The course integrates advanced mathematical, chemical and physical disciplines with molecular design, nanotechnologies, corrosion and environmental sustainability. Students can freely choose some courses, to personalise the pathway. The course takes place in person in Naples. The language is not declared and is inferred to be Italian. The page does not state the credits and does not explicitly mention work placements or internships. Corrosion and environmental sustainability are central themes for the durability and impact of products, and are among the topics cited by the page. The freely chosen courses make it possible to personalise the pathway, directing it, for example, towards research or industrial production. The page does not state which options are available.

The career opportunities include the high-tech and manufacturing sectors, advanced research and industrial and technical consulting roles. The course is aimed at graduates in Materials Science and Engineering and related disciplines. The price, start date, selection, places and scholarships are not reported and must be checked in the official call for applications. The career opportunities include the high-tech and manufacturing sectors, advanced research and technical consulting. The course is aimed above all at graduates in Materials Science and Engineering. Credits, work placements, costs and places are not stated: for this information the official call for applications and the study plan must be consulted. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
