Summary

The student carries out an academic or industrial research project. He/she has to display the knowledge and capability required for independent work in the field of Materials Science & Engineering.

Content

The Master thesis is a personal and original work covering theoretical and practical aspects of materials science using the knowledge of the student acquired during his/her studies and enable him/her to develop deeper knowledge, understanding, capabilities and attitudes in the field of materials science. This project is made under the supervision of a professor of the section of Materials Science and Engineering.
