Call for Applications for Postgraduate Studies on

Soft Matter Science & Engineering
in the Department of Materials Science and Technology
of the University of Crete

 

The Department of Materials Science and Technology of the University of Crete announces a limited number of postgraduate student positions (up to 15) for the graduate program on Soft Matter Science & Engineering for the academic year 2024-2025.

The aim of the Soft Matter Science & Engineering Postgraduate Program is to provide students with the needed skills to pursue successful careers or further advanced studies in the highly interdisciplinary field of soft materials. The educational and research activities of the program provide an integrated approach and in-depth training, with emphasis on conducting innovative research in a variety of soft matter fields, including (but not limited to) synthesis and characterization, polymers, colloids, composites, interfacial properties, materials for energy, biomimetic materials, responsive networks, materials for biological or biomedical applications, eco-friendly and sustainable materials, recycling, rheology and processing. 

Successful completion of the Program leads to a Postgraduate Diploma (MSc) after 4 semesters of study that include mandatory attendance of courses (2 semesters) and submission and oral defense of a Master's Thesis (2 semesters). Internships will be offered in the summer period between the first and second year. The program is in English and requires full-time participation. As part of their training, postgraduate students assist in the instruction of undergraduate courses.

The tuition fees are 3.500€ for the entire program. Scholarships may be available.

Graduates of the first cycle of studies of any Institution have the right to apply for the program. International students should have a degree equivalent.

Eligible candidates should hold a degree in Sciences or Engineering. Good knowledge of English (B2 level and above) is required.  Candidates who have not graduated during the application period will be considered, but possible eventual enrolment is subject to receiving their first degree until the end of October 2024.

The academic criteria that are taken into account for the selection, as defined in the Postgraduate Studies Regulations, include the undergraduate degree, recommendation letters, grades in courses relevant to the program, the senior thesis (if applicable), as well as the applicant’s relevant research or professional activity (if applicable).

Necessary supporting documents:

·       Application

·     Detailed CV

·       Report of interests

·       Diploma supplement

·       Up to three (3) letters of recommendation

·       Certificate of a good knowledge of the English language (B2 level and above)

·       Any other document the applicant considers to be evidence of scientific excellence and quality.

 

The application must include an e-mail account, from which the applicant will be informed about the progress of his/her application.

Letters of recommendation should be sent directly from the authors to the postgraduate secretariat stratigis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

Deadline for submission of the application and supporting documents for the Postgraduate Program is set for May 24, 2024. The candidates will be informed about possible (online) interviews by May 31, 2024.  

 

  Applications and supporting documents are submitted exclusively online to the postgraduate secretariat stratigis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx before the deadline.

For more information, please contact the Secretariat of the Department of Materials Science and Technology, Mr. Ch. Stratigis (tel. +30 2810-394272, (stratigis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or the Director of Postgraduate Program on Soft Matter Science & Engineering, Prof. D. Vlassopoulos (dvlasso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).
