By studying Materials Science and Engineering you gain the knowledge on the structure, properties and technology of materials. It is an interdisciplinary field with strong contribution from physics, chemistry, mechanics, informatics and many others. You will learn about the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. 

Materials Science and Engineering is nowadays a driving force of modern industries, from space, aviation and automotive industry, through materials for medicine up to everyday life where advanced electronics and telecommunication are based on the recent achievements of materials science.

Degree programme in materials science and engineering has an interdisciplinary character and comprises basic courses (mathematics, physics, chemistry), major courses and specialisation courses. Programme of studies includes many hours spent in the laboratory where students have the opportunity to acquire and develop their practical skills in the field of material processing and characterization. Special emphasis is placed on plasma based surface treatment and thin film technologies as well as modern ceramic materials.

Graduates of materials science and engineering possess all the essential qualifications required to design technologies of materials processing and select materials for specific applications. In particular, their competences encompass vacuum based plasma technologies of thin film coatings and surface treatment of materials as well as design and processing of modern ceramic composites.

Research laboratories for materials science are fully equipped and very modern, they were officially opened to students in September 2011. Laboratories of metals, ceramics, plastics and plasma technologies give students the possibilities to carry out various experiments, such as: hardening of steel, sintering of ceramics or generating of thin carbon-like layers using plasma methods.
