Education
The staff at Hultgren laboratory are active in education at all three cycles as well as continuing professional development.
First and second cycle education
At Bachelor and Masters level, within the Materials Design programme, we are responsible for courses, including MH2000 Experimental Methods , which gives an introduction to the common laboratory methods (SEM, XRD, etc) that are used in materials research and characterisation.
Doctoral education
We have many current and former doctoral students. Each student has their own individual study plan. These plans often involve some aspect of collaboration e.g. within centres or national initiatives such as Swedness or by individual contacts with other universities/industry.
As part of their doctoral education, students also take courses. We therefore also hold PhD level courses. Doctoral courses that we have developed and held include:
- FMH3926 Introduction to x-ray diffraction with applications in materials science and metallurgy, which introduces learners to the theory of x-ray diffraction and involves hands-on exercises as well as goes on to outlines considerations when using synchrotron facilities.
- FMH3924 Introduction to High-performance Scanning Electron Microscopy in Materials Science with Focus on Metallurgy, which introduces learners to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) theory and applications in materials science, specifically metallurgy.
Continuing professional development
We offer researchers in the work place opportunities for training and education. Such opportunities are often related to use of the Hultgren Laboratory, PETRA III and its Swedish Materials Science beamline and Materials Engineering. Researchers in companies and institutes are also welcome to attend the PhD level courses.
