Master in Materials Science and Engineering, Master of Science (Technology) (2 yrs)

The Master's Programme in Materials Science and Engineering at Tampere University trains students to understand and develop the materials that underpin modern products and industries. The curriculum covers the production of structural and functional materials, their microstructure, technical properties, and industrial applications, alongside modern methods for analysing and testing material properties. Hands-on training forms a central part of the studies. Students can shape their degree by selecting a focus area in materials science and adding a minor to broaden or deepen their profile. The programme addresses contemporary needs such as lightweight and durable structures, sustainable and recyclable materials, and new battery technologies — areas relevant to transportation, energy, food packaging, and other industries. The two-year programme begins in September 2026 and is delivered at Tampere University in Tampere.
