| | | Learning outcomes |
- EC
| EC 1. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme has an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of functional materials, especially with regard to the relation between composition, structure and functional properties at all length scales and in their operating surroundings. | | | - DC
| DC1.2 The student is able to explain properties of materials and apply this knowledge. | | | - DC
| DC1.6 The student can understand properties from the structure. | - EC
| EC 2. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme can combine chemical and physical principles enabling the discovery of new material concepts based on an interdisciplinary approach. | | | - DC
| DC2.7 The student has knowledge of the added value and shortcomings of chemical and physical approaches and knows how to apply the strengths of both approaches adapted to the problem/issue at hand. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - reflection: the student considers different perspectives and is able to reflect critically on them] | | | - DC
| DC2.9 The student is able to assess which concepts, models and methods from different perspectives are most useful in a specific context. The student uses this assessment in selecting the best perspectives. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - reflection: the student considers different perspectives and is able to reflect critically on them] | - EC
| EC 4. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to autonomously consult, summarise and critically interpret international scientific literature, reference it correctly and use it to explore and identify new domains relevant to the field. | | | - DC
| DC4.1 The student is able to look up and select appropriate international scientific literature from a variety of disciplines related to materials-related problems or research questions. | | | - DC
| DC4.2 The student is able to correctly and completely reference to scientific literature. | | | - DC
| DC4.3 The student is able to critically interpret, evaluate, compare, and/or summarize relevant scientific literature related to materials-related problems or research questions. | - EC
| EC 6. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to communicate in both written and spoken form and to take a well-argued position in a scientific discussion, going from a general to a specialist level, adapted to the target audience. | | | - DC
| DC6.1 The student is able to report orally and in writing in an adequate manner. | - EC
| EC 10. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to autonomously acquire new knowledge and monitor, evaluate and adjust one’s learning process. | | | - DC
| DC10.1 The student can reflect on their own strengths and areas for improvement and use feedback to improve their own work and competences. | | | - DC
| DC10.3 The student is able to autonomously acquire, process, and critically interpret new information. |
