Master in Materials Science Department of Physics

Materials science is a multidisciplinary field that explores the nature of matter and its applications in various fields of science and engineering such as physics, chemistry, as well as metallurgy, civil and electro engineering. In materials science, scientists are not only seeking for material and exploiting its properties, but also aims to understand the materials fundamentally and acquire new materials with desirable qualities. The concept of materials science is to link material properties and performance in certain applications to the structure of atoms, molecules and material phases obtained through the process of characterization. The Materials Science Program (Materials Science) has been established since 1983 which was endorsed by the decree of the implementation of Master and Doctoral program No: 577/DIKTI/Kep/1993. This Study Program adheres to the integration of education/ teaching and research conducted with a balanced portion of time. Therefore, cooperation with research institutions, industries and universities, both domestic and foreign, become the priority.
