Faculty of Sciences

Master in Physics of Materials

Formation's goal

Profiles and skills targeted

Career opportunities

The purpose of the training is to provide a theoretical basis allowing future students to learn about the prediction calculations of new materials, the techniques of crystal growth and the analysis of bulk and thin-layer materials.

The students will be accompanied by on-site training, around the different techniques of characterization and analysis of materials. This training will aim to match each technique to the need for investigation.

The targeted skills would be at the level of the ability of the holder of the Master to be able to adapt to the applications inherent in his field, namely, a classification of the different materials, their physico-chemical properties and their field of use. .

1/Acquire a good knowledge of the physicochemical properties of the materials studied, including structural, thermal, electronic, magnetic and optical properties. This allows the holder of this Master to have the skills required for teaching (Ministry of Education) and/or Scientific research in Research Laboratories.

2/Apply optoelectronic and magnetic properties in various fields, such as phosphorescence, scintillation, magnetic detection, gaseous detection, laser as well as photovoltaic conversion.

 

The holder of the Master will be able to apply for a position:

  • access to the Doctorate
  • teaching (Ministry of Education)
  • as a research engineer at a research center
  • engineer near an analysis and control laboratory
  • to work with a company producing and processing materials for technology
