Magnetic Resonance in Materials
Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide extraordinarily versatile information about the physical properties, chemistry, structure and dynamic phenomena of materials. Department of Physics organizes a two-year full-time Master's degree programme in Magnetic Resonance in Materials (MRM), which provides a unique combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational education in NMR in various materials.
The aim is to develop the appropriate competence and knowledge needed in high-tech industries and medical technologies applying nuclear magnetism as well as in research in physics, chemistry, bio- and materials sciences. The programme is open for applications from students with a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent higher education degree. All teaching will be in English. Students will be awarded a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree.
Department of Physics is an official Centre of Excellence in Research within the University of Oulu.
New: After the first year, we offer summer job for the students that have collected at least a total of 55 ECTS credits during the autumn and spring semesters. The hired students will take part in an experimental or theoretical-computational research project pertaining to his/her Master of Science degree thesis. The three months' summer job project will be carried out in between May and September.
Background
The MRM programme is open to applicants with a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent higher education degree and sufficient background in physics, chemistry, mathematics and/or materials science. The programme is coordinated by NMR research group of Department of Physics. The group has a long tradition in investigating different materials such as zeolites and molecular sieves, thermally modified wood, nanosystems, liquid crystals, etc. The group consists of experimental and NMR theory subgroups. NMR facilities include three older as well as three new, state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers installed in autumn 2011. Computational work is carried out both in IT Center for Science (CSC) supercomputers and in local PC-Linux cluster. In this inspiring environment, the MRM programme provides a unique combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational education in magnetic resonance applied to various materials.
Career
After passing the programme the MRM graduates are eligible for post-graduate studies (PhD) in NMR research groups worldwide in different disciplines such as physics, chemistry, bio- and materials sciences. In addition, they have the skills needed in high-tech industries, research institutes and medical technologies applying nuclear magnetism.
