Studies in the laboratory General
Our laboratory is a part of the
degree program Materials Science and Engineering. We are a part of the option
of Materials Technology. That option includes the major of Corrosion and Materials
Chemistry. The major concentrates on the interaction of materials and
operating environment, such as corrosion. The courses give basic information
on the chemical and electrochemical reactions of materials and environments,
the application of materials in different environments, and corrosion
prevention methods. The courses also include surface engineering and
hydrometallurgy. The courses are designed mainly for students for the
materials technology option, but courses on corrosion and corrosion prevention
are suitable for students in many degree programs, such as mechanical
engineering, forest products technology, and chemical engineering. Efforts
are made to make use of research results in teaching. There are six courses for Master’s level students and two
of them have been modified for students in mechanical engineering. Upon
request, short courses can be tailored for other degree programs too. For
post-graduate students there is one seminar course focusing on current
subjects and test methods. Corrosion and material chemistry lectures are
given also in other universities and institutes and 1-2 day corrosion
prevention courses are arranged for companies.
Teaching Arrangements
· The professor runs the laboratory.
His tasks include administration, research, and teaching. He is responsible
for all work done in the laboratory and he is the person in charge for work
done with external financing. ·
The
senior lecturer is also responsible for teaching and research. ·
Professor
and docents can supervise Masters theses. Post-graduate studies are always
supervised by the professor. ·
Typically
ten postgraduate students work in the laboratory with external financing. The
number of undergraduate students is between three and five. The basic idea is
that all researchers do postgraduate studies and only exceptionally post-doc
work is done. Acquiring practical experience in different research tasks is
one of the key points in postgraduate studies. Courses
All lectures are in Finnish! The
majors and minors of Corrosion and Materials Chemistry according to the old
course structure are presented below. The courses beginning with Mak- are not
more lectured. You can find the replacing courses in the list on the
www-pages of the study affairs.

The basic degree at
the university is the degree of Master of Science in Technology (M.Sc.). It requires
courses with a total of 160 credit units plus a thesis of 20 credit units.
The typical time needed to earn the Master's degree is roughly 5-7 years.
Postgraduate degrees are intended for graduates with a Master's degree.
Postgraduate degrees include Licentiate in Science (Technology), Lic.Sc.
(Tech.), Doctor of Science (Technology), D.Sc. (Tech.) and Doctor of
Philosophy (D.Phil.). The licentiate's degree is not a prerequisite for
obtaining the doctor's degree. The licentiate
includes writing of an extensive scientific thesis and the degree of Doctor
of Technology requires the writing of a doctoral dissertation and defending
it successfully in a public debate. Graduation with the degree of Licentiate
takes 2-3 years and with the doctor`s degree an additional 1-3 years. The
postgraduate degree programs aim at the development of critical scientific
thought and new knowledge in the chosen field of science and technology. Licentiate in Technology In studies for the degree of Licentiate in Technology, the
student shall show thorough knowledge of the research field concerned, and
the capability of independent and critical scientific thinking. The extent of
the Licentiate in Technology degree is 80 credits, of which the licentiate
thesis constitutes 35 credits. For the degree of Licentiate in Technology,
the student shall do a major and at least one minor subject, do a licentiate
thesis connected with the major subject, and fulfill the other demands of the
faculty. The licentiate thesis should show a command of the scientific
research methods in the appropriate field. Doctor of Technology In studies for the degree of Doctor of Technology, the
student shall exhibit thorough knowledge of his or her own research field,
and be able to create independently new scientific knowledge. The extent of
the Doctor of Technology degree is 160 credits, of which the doctoral dissertation
constitutes 115 credits. For the degree of Doctor of Technology, the student
shall do either the degree of Licentiate in Technology, or a major and at
least one minor subject and the other work required by the faculty. Together
with the doctoral dissertation, which is approved in the faculty after a
formal public defence, they demonstrate the attainment of the knowledge and
capability of the student. The doctoral dissertation shall contain new
scientific knowledge. Doctor of Philosophy In studies for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, the
student shall exhibit thorough knowledge of his or her own research field,
and be able to create independently new scientific knowledge. The extent of
the Doctor of Technology degree is 160 credits, of which the doctoral
dissertation constitutes 115 credits. A person who fulfils the conditions set
out here may be accepted to study for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Namely, the student ·
1)
has a Master's degree at a Finnish university or ·
2)
has a degree at a university abroad corresponding to 1) above, or ·
3)
is otherwise considered by Helsinki University of Technology to fulfill the
requirements for knowledge and qualifications indicated by 1) and 2) above. It is
possible to do doctoral dissertation without doing the licentiate's degree
first. However, it is often advisable to do licentiate's first and then
continue with the dissertation Studying at HUT
