Materials Chemistry
(field of studies: Chemistry)

1. You need a material that conducts ions well but stays stable at high temperature. How do you start?

2. How do you feel about interpreting X-ray diffraction patterns, spectra and electron microscope images?

3. Your synthesis fails for the fifth time. How do you react?

4. You’ll handle reactive precursors, solvents and high-temperature furnaces. How do you approach lab safety?

5. Which research topic attracts you most?

6. How do you feel about writing scientific papers and presenting your results at conferences?

7. The programme is taught in English, and you’ll work in research labs with students from many countries. How do you feel about that?

8. How do you feel about using computer modelling to predict a material’s structure before making it?

9. Which future path sounds most like you?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Materials Chemistry?
