Teaching on the Master’s Degree in Materials Science is structured as follows:
Compulsory subjects on the Master’s Degree, worth 18 ECTS credits, are taught as part of the core module. Optional subjects, worth 27 ECTS credits, are taught as part both of the core module and the specialisation module.
It should be noted that the core module consists of subject areas which are fundamental to the field of Materials science.
The core module contains subjects worth 6 ECTS credits (5 theoretical subjects and 1 practical subject).
The specialisation module contains 7 subjects areas related to the areas of research of interest to those involved in teaching on the Master’s Degree. These subject areas are:
Each of these subject areas contains various optional subjects, worth 3 ECTS credits. It should be noted that some subjects are common to various subject areas. Students are required to take at least 3 subjects from the same subject area.
The Master’s Degree programme concludes with the Master’s Final Project (MFP). This comprises supervised work where students are required to address problems using a practical and applied approach which will equip them to carry out further research in one of the areas of interest to those teaching on the Master’s Degree course. The Master’s Final Project will also enable students to apply the knowledge they have acquired during study of the previous modules.
According to the Regulations of the University of Alicante, the following requirements must be complied to have access to official taught Master’s degrees:
- Non- recognised degree certificates shall require a technical report showing an equivalence statement issued by the University of Alicante (ContinUA – Continuing Education Centre), for which the corresponding fee should be paid.
- Access through this way does under no circumstances imply prior official approval of the holder’s degree certificate, nor its recognition for purposes other than studying a master's degree.
1.- Admission profile
To be considered for admission to the Master’s Degree in Materials Science at the University of Alicante, applicants should hold one of the following:
1. An officially recognised Spanish Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related field.
2. A Degree or Engineering qualification in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or related areas, obtained according to the course programmes in existence prior to the enactment of RD 1393/2007.
3. An official university qualification issued by a higher education institution forming part of the European Space for Higher Education, equivalent to the qualifications indicated in points 1 and 2 above, and which qualifies the holder for admittance to a Master’s Degree in the issuing country.
4. A non-homologated qualification from abroad, accrediting a level of training equivalent to the corresponding official Spanish university qualifications indicated in points 1 and 2 above, and which qualifies the holder for admittance to a Master’s Degree in the issuing country.
The weighting of the criteria for admission to the event that demand exceeds supply are as follows: 90% Certification and record in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering, and related areas to be defined by the Academic Committee and 10 % other merits (English, collaborative scholarship, research collaborations, etc..).
PRE-ENROLMENT +info
Students who wish to study for an Officially Recognised Master’s Degree at the UA should complete pre-enrolment in accordance with the deadlines and conditions specified annually.

Research.
Introduction to research in Materials Science.
Professions for which the degree qualifies its holder
Given that the Master’s Degree in Materials Science focuses on research, it is not aimed specifically at any given professions. However, in addition to providing the background necessary for undertaking the research activity to prepare a doctoral thesis, the training students will receive on this Master’s course will equip them to undertake R&D activities in technology centres and businesses devoted to the field of Materials Science. Furthermore, this training provides an advanced and specialised education in an extremely important area, both from a fundamental perspective and in its industrial applications. It should also be highlighted that the study of Materials Science has an outstanding future in scientific and applied fields, including new areas of research in nanomaterials.
