Highlights

We have a high degree of teaching quality. The School accepts up to 20 candidates; they will be selected according to their background and an interview, and will be required to stay in Pavia for whole period of the teaching activity.

Close connection to the industrial planning and requests for experts in innovative materials. Academic teachers and industrial research managers offer the students the opportunity both of deepening specific topics and of getting acquainted with industrial structures and organization in terms of production as well as of research and development. To increase such connections and help the students in becoming experts in materials science, after the lectures period, an internship takes place, spent mostly in industrial labs.

We have an international environment for both students and teachers.
