Educational activity and employability of graduates students
The study programs of the School of Sciences show 90% employability after the completing their studies. The employment of graduates of the Master’s study program “Material science” can be predicted in various types of industry: – chemical – coatings – construction – automotive – aviation
in certain segments, also the pharmaceutical and food industries.
All of these industries are developing rapidly in the world, therefore is a need for students who will complete the program “Science of Materials” are high. Graduates of the Master’s program Material Science will also be employed in non-economic activities, in various institutes for testing and quality control of materials, products, education and other public and governmental institutions in Slovenia and abroad.
Conditions for enrollment and transitions between years
On the study program Material Science can be enrolled students who are completed the 1st level program in the scope of at least 180 ECTS in the field of Natural sciences and engineering in Slovenia (Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials, Materials and Technology, Environment, Construction etc.).
For the transition from the first to the second year, students must select at least 48 ECTS from the exams passed.
Program
In academic year 2018/2019, we introduced the Master Program “Material Science”, which is interdisciplinary and research oriented. The program is designed in cooperation with the Chemical Institute and the Jožef Stefan Institute in accordance with good personnel and research conditions in the fields of materials physics and chemistry, characterization of materials, as well as materials technologies and the development of innovative products and services, including the protection of intellectual property.
