2006 MATERIALS PHYSICS AND NANOTECHNOLOGY
Aim The Master's Programme in Materials Physics and Nanotechnology focuses on the physics of novel materials. The programme is supported by a number of internationally known research divisions at the Department of Physics and Measurement Technology, and is directed towards students aiming at university or industry careers in materials related research and development. The applications and importance of advanced materials in today's technology are best exemplified by highly purified semiconductor crystals, which are the basis of the "electronic age". Future applications in electronics and photonics will include nanoscaled physics, molecular electronics, non-linear optics etc. The master's programme in Materials Physics and Nanotechnology covers a wide range of materials including materials used in semiconductor technology, optoelectronics, biotechnical applications (biocompatibility), chemical and bio-sensors, mechanical applications such as hardness and elasticity etc.
Composition of the Programme The programme structure includes an autumn semester (September-January) of compulsory and elective courses followed by a spring semester (January-June) in which students choose to follow one of three elective profiles:
The Content of the Programme The syllabus for the programme may vary from year to year, but the main structure remains. The programme consists of four mandatory courses (15 p/22,5 ECTC credits) and a set of elective courses (25 p/37,5 ECTS credits) all given in English. See the the curriculum for course details and Courses in English for information about courses that can be selected. Some graduate courses are open for undergraduate students. Please contact the Director of Graduate Studies at the department:
The total number of course points has to reach a minimum of 40 credit points/60 ECTS credits. There are certain possibilities for students to exchange courses ( for example if a student in previous studies has taken a course that corresponds to a course within the program) or add courses after consulting the programme director, and decision in the Board of Studies.
Master Thesis See general rules and regulations for master programmes at LiTH. The thesis should include high quality scientific research within the research area of the profile chosen by the students. This work could be performed either at Linköping university or at the home university.
The Degree of Ordinance See general rules and regulations for master programmes at LiTH.
Entrance Qualifications See general rules and regulations for master programmes at LiTH.
