EC 3. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme has insight in how modelling or synthesis methods predict and affect functional properties and is able to design sustainable materials based on in-operando functionality making optimal use of the synergy between computational and experimental methods.

DC3.8 The student has knowledge of computational concepts and methods. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - identification: the student knows which phenomena are studied in the various disciplines and which methods and theories are used]

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.

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.

DC4.2 The student is able to correctly and completely reference to scientific literature.

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.

DC4.4 The student is able to use relevant scientific literature to solve materials-related problems and/or to identify and explore new areas relevant to the field.

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.

DC5.3 The student is able to think critically about a (new) experimental or theoretical methodology to achieve the predefined research objective, select and/or develop valid methods and techniques, write them down and carry them out.

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

DC5.5 The student can, within the possibilities and limitations of the given context or circumstances, accommodate and direct changes in the planning of a research process.

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

DC5.7 The student is able to apply predetermined criteria to critically evaluate the quality of their own research and that of others.

DC5.8 The student is able to formulate possible ideas for further research based on the conclusions of an investigation or assignment.

DC5.10 The student is able to apply various scientific reporting methods e.g., project reporting, article, poster/oral presentation,....

DC5.11 The student is able to manage a large (own) research project, consistently integrating various research components, from formulating the problem to reporting and critically discussing results.

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.

DC6.1 The student is able to report orally and in writing in an adequate manner.

DC6.2 The student is able to adapt to the purpose and target audience of the communication, i.e., can empathize with the target audience and make appropriate choices regarding language use and format.

DC6.3 The student is able to take and defend a logically constructed position, based on relevant and scientifically supported arguments.

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.

DC10.1 The student can reflect on their own strengths and areas for improvement and use feedback to improve their own work and competences.

DC10.3 The student is able to autonomously acquire, process, and critically interpret new information.

DC10.6 The student is able to reflect critically on his/her own way of thinking/reasoning and that of fellow students about a specific (material) problem. On the basis of this, the student is able to improve his/her own reasoning and, if necessary, look for complementary views in function of a specific (material) problem. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - reflection: the student considers different perspectives and is able to reflect critically on them]
