Materials Science and Engineering degree is offered at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
About the program
Materials very often set the bounds for what can be achieved by man. Materials Science and Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne aims to push these bounds by investigating, understanding and engineering the relations that exist between the microstructure, the synthesis and processing, the properties, and the performance of all materials, i.e. of what we make all engineered structures from. It is a highly multi-disciplinary field, situated at the forefront of modern science and technology.
