EC 5. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme can independently design and carry out scientific research: formulate a research question and hypothesis, select the appropriate methods and techniques, critically analyse and interpret the results, formulate conclusions, report scientifically and manage research data.

DC5.1 The student is able to identify materials-related scientific problems.

DC5.2 The student can formulate one or more research question(s) and/or hypothesis(s) for a material-related problem, and link research objectives to them.

DC5.4 The student knows and understands the methods required to process, analyze, and interpret data.

DC5.6 The student is able to formulate appropriate conclusions, based on the data analysis and interpretation.
