Master’s Degree in Materials Science and Technology

The Master's Degree in Materials Science and Technology is offered by the Department of Chemistry of the University of Bari Aldo Moro and is entirely in English. It has two curricula, Scientific and Bioref (Erasmus Mundus), with theoretical courses and practical activities in state-of-the-art laboratories, with a focus on nanomaterials, biomaterials and biomedical sensors. It includes compulsory and optional courses, internships and an experimental or theoretical thesis. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course is full-time in person in Bari. Internships at bodies and companies are provided.

The aim is to train specialists in the design of innovative materials, understanding the correlations between the structure and properties of materials. The career opportunities are research and development, quality control, production, industrial marketing and public and private research centres; the page cites an employment rate above 92%. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. 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.
