Functional Materials - Chemical, Biochemical and Materials Engineering, Master of Science (Technology)

We are living in a material world: everything from cars, computing, energy, robots, medical devices, sports, construction and luxury goods boils down to materials. This wide range of opportunities is what makes materials science the most exciting science there is for many. The Master's Programme in Chemical, Biochemical and Materials Engineering – Functional Materials educates materials experts who want to learn both hard-core science subjects and practical engineering thinking. Ranked among the top universities for materials science by QS World University Ranking, Aalto University brings together a highly international and competent group of students and academic staff, resulting in a one-of-a-kind programme fueled by cutting edge research and strong industry links.

Upon graduating from the Master's Programme in Chemical, Biochemical and Materials Engineering – Functional Materials, graduates will have:

A profound understanding of the structures, composition, properties, processing, and performance of different materials. Students get a fascinating insight into different materials from large, small, hard and soft to novel smart materials.

Ability to evaluate material properties, design new materials and predict their behaviour. Graduates understand the engineering possibilities and limitations of new materials. These include composites, hybrid, biomimetic and nanomaterials and active, functional, responsive and smart materials for sensing, actuation and self-repair.

An inquisitive mind to explore new frontiers in research. Graduates have curiosity to explore and discover new grounds in research as well as courage to defend their findings.

Passion in their field to make a change in the world. The world needs new materials that are lighter, greener and smarter.
