The curriculum provides specialization in materials, with a special emphasis on knowledge about biomaterials, nanomaterials, project management, quality management, and intellectual property.
Students must choose two subjects from the electives module.
Dedicated to expanding knowledge about materials and their characterization. Students are immersed in understanding the main families of materials: metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite. Two subjects are dedicated to characterization techniques, making it possible to evaluate the properties of these materials. This module also contains an Advanced Materials Synthesis Laboratory that covers the contents taught in the theoretical subjects in a hands-on manner.
This module aims to provide students with more specialized knowledge. It places an emphasis on biomaterials and nanomaterials concerning their current and future significance within the field of materials. It also includes a course in project management, quality, and intellectual property, aimed at students joining the world of business or research in the future. In addition, different case studies on technology-based companies (design, creation, growth, markets, etc.) are presented in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship subject.
Students must choose two out of the six subjects. The content addressed includes: improving materials properties (Surface Engineering) to avoid material degradation phenomena (Corrosion and degradation of materials); the presentation of models to understand and predict the properties of materials (Modelling and simulation of materials); materials processing (Manufacturing Technologies) to obtain parts, objects, and devices; the bonding of different or equal materials with one another (Material Bonding Technologies); and, finally, the different options for conveying materials in different forms (suspensions, gels, sols, etc.) in the Formulations subject.
This module entails conducting an individual research project within a research group under the supervision of a master’s degree professor.

International Students
For students who can prove they reside outside of Spain, have financial need, a solid academic record, and have been admitted to an IQS master’s degree.
IQS is committed to quality and has different processes in place to ensure continuous improvement through the IQS School of Engineering Quality Committee.
Since 1995, the IQS School of Engineering has featured a Quality Management Unit. Initially, the efforts were related to the Technical Services that IQS provides to industries, companies, and governmental entities.
Since 2000, many of its actions have been aimed at implementing a quality system in the field of teaching. The manual of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC) for the IQS School of Engineering within Ramon Llull University (URL) was presented to the AQU for evaluation in the 2009 AUDIT call and holds a favourable review as of 22 April 2010. The Quality Assessment Committee of AQU Catalunya met on 11 December 2012 and ratified the extension of the SGIC design to consider the addition of the IQS School of Management AUDIT programme. The Master’s Degree in Materials Science and Engineering has passed the accreditation process of AQU Catalunya, in accordance with the Framework, for the verification, monitoring, modification, and accreditation of official university degrees (2010). Ramon Llull University (URL) and its centres already boast a long history of developing policies, strategies, and actions focused on guaranteeing the quality of their degrees, teaching activity, research, and management.
