The Curriculum ‘Materials Science’ is dedicated to Students, already enrolled in the first Year of the MSc Degree (Laurea Magistrale) in ‘Scienza dei Materiali’ of the University of Padova, who intend to participate in the Double Degree (DD) Program between the Justus-Liebig University (JLU), Giessen (Germany) and the University of Padova.
