The master's degree course in Diagnostics of Materials is inter-disciplinary and is largely oriented towards the study of advanced topics of materials science. It provides knowledge of the behaviour of objects and their systems in terms of mechanical and structural properties of materials during the process of failure, of products lifetimes, and of new technologies. The course is multi-disciplinary and provides advanced elements of classical and modern physics, mathematics, and informatics. It trains student to have the technical competency for the use of methods derived from physics in natural sciences and in engineering practice, often based on modern computer technologies.
