Duration of study

The Interdisciplinary Interdepartmental Postgraduate Program (IIPP)”Materials Science and Technology” lasts three (3) semesters. During the first two semesters of the postgraduate programme the graduate student attends mandatory courses, as well as selections of mandatory courses.

The latter are selected from two streams: Flow A “Materials Science” and Flow B “Technology of Materials “. Flow A combines the subjects “Production- Structure-Properties-Applications’ from a scientific point of view, while Flow B mainly highlights their technological aspects.

The graduate student is required to successfully attend seven classes per semester. The first and second semesters have 13 weeks of compulsory attendance and both include 310 hours of teaching. During the third semester the preparation of the research postgraduate thesis is taking place.

The maximum duration of attendance is two (2) years. Exceptionally, in specific cases a small extension can be given to one (1) additional semester, following a justified decision by the Special Interdepartmental Committee (SIC).

In both two courses flows of the programme, “Materials Science” and “Technology of Materials” lessons are offered by a wide range of relevant areas of knowledge. A wide range of elements from the natural sciences and engineering are combined in such a way as to cover the complexity of the materials science field through an interdisciplinary approach and a particular scientific composition. The option to select courses from both courses flows renders the Interdisciplinary Interdepartmental Postgraduate Program of increased openness and flexibility and meets a wide range of already declared interests and needs.
