General Information

Do you want to contribute to technological progress? Do you want to acquire skills and ability to solve very different problems? Are you interested in chemistry, physics, nanotechnology? Do you like to carry out scientific experiments? Or do you prefer the theoretical description of the phenomena? Would you like to work at important laboratories in Italy or abroad? If you answer positively to one of these questions then

MATERIALS SCIENCE MAKES YOU!

Modern Materials Science is born from the interaction between Physics, Chemistry, Engineering and Biology.
In many countries such as the United States, Great Britain and Germany, Materials Science plays a fundamental role in scientific research and industrial development. In Italy there are still few universities to offer degree courses in Materials Science

ROMA TOR VERGATA IS THE ONLY UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ITALY TO OFFER A COURSE OF STUDIES IN MATERIALS SCIENCE

The Materials Scientist is a particularly versatile professional figure who can access very different professional fields: from environmental protection to medical prostheses, from energy production to the protection of the artistic heritage, from sports to robotics, from space to the infinitely small, from fashion to jewelery.
Our students, in Italy and abroad, are highly appreciated in terms of preparation, professional autonomy, ability to solve problems of various kinds and ability to integrate quickly and profitably in a research or work environment.

GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE SCIENCE OF MATERIALS

  • The high ratio of student teachers allows to be followed closely and to be supported throughout the course.
  • The strong interdisciplinarity makes it extremely versatile.
  • The international nature of the topics dealt with allows to get in touch with different research centers in terms of language, culture and professionalism.
  • The wide variety of fields of possible specialization and the extraordinary laboratory practice strongly characterize a materials scientist.
