About the University

The mission of the Industrial Campus will be articulated through the training of professionals for the exercise of activities related to the naval and industrial fields, Research and Development based on the knowledge that is produced on campus. This knowledge is valued through an effective transfer of science to the business environment, as a result of the close interrelationship that exists.

The Industrial Campus is configured as a reference campus and recognized nationally and internationally in the context of the European Atlantic Arc, with its own identity visible and clearly specialized in the industrial field in both naval and oceanic and other industrial fields and closely linked to economic potential. of its area of ​​influence.

A campus closely related to the industrial environment in which there is an effective valorisation of research and innovation and which allows an active transfer of knowledge with the industrial world.

The Campus of Ferrol is located in the third urban concentration of Galicia among the 67 tree species of the Esteiro botanical garden, some in rehabilitated buildings that conformed the old Marina Hospital of Ferrol and others in new buildings.

Located very close to the Campus are the Pantín and Doniños beaches, ideal to practice surf and water sports in general. The Cultural University Center of Esteiro hosts the cultural offer of the Campus, both the courses and workshops (art, theatre, music, photography…), and the cinema cycles or exhibitions.

University life in Ferrol is an accumulation of experiences. Discover them on the Ferrol Industrial Campus!

About the program

This master is jointly developed by the universities of A Coruña (UDC), Spain, and Université Paris Cité (UPCit), France and therefore enjoys the official recognition of both universities. This means that students obtain two diplomas, one from each of the universities:

  • Master in Complex Materials: Thermal Analysis and Rheology (UDC).
  • Master Physics of Soft Matter (UPCit).

The course program involves the practical stay of all the students both at the UDC and at UPCit, where they can gain hands-on laboratory experience in addition to the lectures given by specialists at each of the two universities.

Complex Materials. Today, complex materials find application in a large number of technological fields. This group of materials includes polymers, nanomaterials, metamaterials among others. Their fields of application include in biomedicine, nanotechnology, energy-environment, cosmetics, pharmacy, food, textiles, civil engineering… One of the pillars of the current technological advance is the development of new materials. Complex materials are an emerging field in which large companies and research institutions need highly specialized professionals.

The master’s degree is organized in three modules, the first one in Paris (September- December), the second one in Ferrol (January-April) and the last one that could be done in any place, universities or private or public institutions (April – July).

This Master provides:

  • Practical and highly specialized training in the complex materials and the main research
    techniques associated with these materials, covering all steps form elaboration to characterization.
  • Training in advanced techniques supported by a wide variety of scientific equipment from universities and professors with proven research experience.
  • Two master´s degrees: “Complex materials: thermal analysis and rheology” from the UDC and “Soft matter Physics” from the Paris Diderot”.
  • The Master offers a high percentage of insertion in the labour market.

 

“One of the most interesting features of the Master is its versatility. Studying one trimester in Physics faculty and another one in an Engineering school offers two different points of view on materials science, providing knowledge from the raw fundamental properties to the most tangible applications. This allows physicists, chemists and engineers to find our way in the science of materials”

Mercedes Pereira | 2021

We are a campus specialised in smart industry and advanced manufacturing strongly connected with the companies of the sector both in actions to orient educative programs or in R&D collaborations.

 

We promoting the transfer of our knowledge, in industrial robotics, materials, naval and offshore engineering, industrial management, optimisation of industrial processes and product development, to the productive sector.

We collaborate with other universities on educational and applied research projects, usually by applying for international funding calls, but also sharing new educational programs.
