Stockholms universitet

Stockholm University
University of Stockholm is the capital's university with breadth, diversity and close contact with society. This characterizes both teaching and research. Campus is located about ten minutes from the pulse of the city and the world's first national park, an inspiring cultural and natural environment. Researchers, teachers and 50,000 students meet here in an undulating parkland framed by lakes and seas. This is Sweden's largest science faculty.

Masters programme in Materials Chemistry

Materials research aims to explore, design and control the relationships between structure, composition, processing and properties that determine the performance and usefulness of all materials. The rapid evolution of our ability to probe and observe materials at very small length scales together with the development of novel (micro and nano)-fabrication methods now give us the possibility to integrate atomic and molecular-level design with new and improved approaches for assembly and structural design at larger length-scales.

The Masters programme in Materials Chemistry at Stockholm University will build on our strength in solid state chemistry, which will be utilized in courses that introduce the students to versatile materials synthesis strategies. The design of nano-structured materials from novel combinations of molecular building blocks, templating molecules, nano-particles and various functional molecules is a running theme in several of the courses where a deep understanding of the structure-property relations at all length-scales is of pivotal importance.

One year fulltime coresponds to 60 ETCS credits. Each study year is divided into two semesters; a fall semester between the last week in August to the third week in January, and a spring semester between the fourth week in January to the first week in June.

Courses
The first compulsory course given in the programme is an introduction to materials chemistry and characterisation techniques. This introduction treats the synthesis and characterisation of inorganic based materials. A number of important characterisation methods will be introduced and used in the experimental part of the course. The next compulsory course consists of two parts; a) crystal structure determination by diffraction techniques, and b) the relation between crystal structure symmetry and properties. This relation is a common theme throughout the programme.

The first part of the education is thus spent on three compulsary courses:
- Introduction to materials chemistry, 15 ECTS credits
- Structure and properties solid matter, 7.5 ECTS credit
- Structure analysis with diffraction, 7.5 ECTS credits

After the three compulsory courses, we recommend a number of courses in this programme. These courses can be exchanged for other courses in chemistry or physics on the advanced level. Further information on all advanced courses courses in chemistry can be found here.
