About

About the course

Course content

The course intends to present new, relevant and advanced topics within modern materials science and engineering. The selection of topics will depend on the candidates. The course will be based on new original literature and will require an active participation from the candidates.

Learning outcome

The students shall after having finished the course and passed the exam:

* Demonstrate extensive knowledge and skills related to selected topics covered by the course

The course normally requires that at least three candidates in collaboration with one or more professors define a suitable joint syllabus (to be approved by the Board of Reserach at the NT-faculty).
The teaching will be a combination of lectures, colloquia and a self-studies. The curriculum and examination date should be the same for all simultaneous candidates.
The course is primary intented for PhD-students at Department of Materials Science and Engineering. However, external students may be accepted into the course if it fits in with an already defined realisation.
