MPhil Material Science
Course Overview
Materials Science provides real, tangible benefits to society, and materials research provides the key elements for new technologies to address global needs. Spectacular technological achievements of the past decades are driven by revolutionary advances in basic science of materials, from semiconductors, ceramics and polymers to superconductors and bio-materials. This, the Department of Physics is at the forefront with Faculty Members playing their roles. Whole industries have risen on devices made possible by materials with remarkable properties, such as the silicon chip. Today, there are over 300,000 different known materials, but as materials scientists continue to create and combine materials in new ways, the number is almost infinite. Pioneers in materials science are designing unique materials that will bring vital new technologies within reach. Materials have changed our history and continue to shape our future economy.
Aims:
The objective of the MPhil degree in Materials Science is to build human capacity by training to produce skilled postgraduates with world standard qualities.
