Modern Materials Design and Application

The Modern Materials Design and Application (MMDA) master's degree program at AGH University of Science and Technology is designed for graduate students with a general background in materials science, including materials physics, chemistry, and engineering. The program focuses on advanced materials and processing technologies, covering designing processes and materials, application of modern synthesis and processing techniques such as plastic working, heat treatment, powder metallurgy, and other advanced technologies relevant to modern materials science. It aims to deepen understanding of the structure-property-performance-application relationship and develop expertise in evaluating, designing, improving, and fabricating unique materials based on non-ferrous metals and alloys. The curriculum also includes courses to enhance communication, presentation, entrepreneurial, teamwork, leadership, and socio-economic skills. The program includes lectures, seminars, projects, and laboratory classes, with a strong emphasis on practical and theoretical knowledge in non-ferrous metals science, metal engineering, nanomaterials, powders, biomaterials, and modern surface engineering.
