Introduction
The Master's degree program in Materials and Production Engineering is designed to qualify skilled materials engineers and scientists able to explore the design and testing of materials employing cutting-edge technologies and to manage and promote technological innovation at different levels. This is because the labor market increasingly requires experts not only in the engineering fields but also in the design, production, and qualification of traditional and advanced materials.
Admissions
Curriculum
The Master’s degree program in Materials Engineering consists of 120 ECTS–credits for a two-year program. Students will participate in full-time learning activities and attending lectures is strongly recommended. All courses are taught in English.
Credits required to complete the Master’s degree program in Materials Engineering: 120 ECTS
Notes: According to the Sorbonne (1988) and Bologna (1999) declarations university-level study programs in the European Higher Education Area are structured in university credits (ECTS). One university credit corresponds to 25 hours of student workload, time for personal preparation included. The annual average workload for a full-time student is conventionally fixed at 60 credits.

Career Opportunities
Career opportunities span from innovation and development of production, advanced planning, and programming to the management of complex systems, both as self-employment professionals and in manufacturing and services companies, or public offices.
Materials Engineers may be employed in chemical, pharmaceutical, and processing industries; companies active in the production, transformation, transportation, and storage of substances and materials; industrial laboratories; and public administration offices for environment and safety management.
With the MS in Materials Engineering, graduates will also be able to work as scientists, engineers, or managers in industries of production and conversion of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, glass, composite materials and biomaterials, building materials, or electronic materials, telecommunications, energy, construction, transportation, environment, cultural heritage, industrial laboratories and R&D Departments of public and private institutions.
They may be employed, for example, as project and development engineers, in sectors spanning from experiments to engineering, as project managers or technical directors. Considering the wide range of acquired skills they may also be employed in basic and applied research centers, or as managers of production, logistics, quality control, marketing, and purchasing managers.
According to figures published by the Italian Institute of Statistics, the Master&rsquo's degree course in Materials Engineering trains:
- Mining and metallurgical engineers;
- Chemical engineering.
The Master&rsquo's degree program in Materials Engineering has been tailored to allow students to embark upon an international post-graduate level study; the Ph.D. programs offered at the University of Trento include the Materials, Mechatronics, and Systems Engineering Doctoral School.
