Materials Science, PhD
Campus Johanneberg, Gothenburg, Sweden
Programme overview
Main Subject
Materials Sciences
Degree
PhD
Study Level
PHD
Study Mode
On Campus
As a doctoral student you will develop an understanding of the relationship between a material’s composition and structure, and learn how the structure controls the properties of the material. Within the doctoral program in Materials Science, you will explore the scientific basis of the development of materials for advanced applications in modern technology. Read more in the study plan.
The graduate school in Materials Science is a cross-departmental graduate school with doctoral students at:
Materials science is an interdisciplinary subject that describes relationships between a solid material's composition and structure, and the properties, performance and processing of the material. The understanding of composition-structure-processing-property-performance relationships provides the scientific basis for the development of materials for advanced applications in modern technology. Fundamental and applied research in this field respond to an ever-increasing demand for improved and better-characterized structural and functional materials.
The graduate school subject materials science focuses on the metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite classes of materials.

Admission Requirements
To be qualified for admission in Materials Science the student must have earned a degree at the second-cycle level. The orientation of the student’s degree shall also have a sufficiently close connection to the subject of the doctoral programme. Equivalent requirements apply to individuals who have taken their first degree in a country other than Sweden. The examiner, in consultation with the principal supervisor, shall assess whether the applicant has the requisite capacity to successfully complete the doctoral programme. Other requirements for general entry are regulated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.
Specific entry requirements
The earned degree at the second-cycle level must be a degree in physics, chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, materials and manufacturing technology, or an other subject closely related to materials science.
Admission
Regulations regarding admission are stated in Appointment regulation for doctoral programmes.
