What is the future for graduate students in materials science at Zhejiang University?

The employment situation of Zhejiang University is quite good. The school brand is there, and a large number of companies, especially large companies in the Yangtze River Delta region, come to the school to recruit. At Zhejiang University, the employment situation of the Department of Materials is above average. After all, it is an engineering major, which is much better than that of science, literature, history, law, and agriculture. But limited to the engineering majors of Zhejiang University, the work situation of the Department of Materials is not particularly outstanding, and it should be inferior to strong disciplines such as control, machinery, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering.

The Department of Materials at Zhejiang University now mainly focuses on functional materials, and the proportion of traditional materials is already very small. Mainly focused on solar materials, semiconductor materials, biomedical materials, environmentally friendly materials, rare earth functional materials and material microstructure analysis.

This discipline currently has 6 main research directions. These directions are:

(1) New theories and new technologies of powder metallurgy;

( 2) Phase diagram research and material design;

(3) Special new materials for powder metallurgy;

(4) Alloying theory of non-ferrous and rare metal materials and development of new materials;

(5) Modern high-performance composite materials;

(6) Non-ferrous metal functional materials. The common characteristics of the six research directions are: the research content belongs to cutting-edge subjects and international hot research topics, and is innovative; it is closely integrated with the main battlefield of national economic construction and has strong practicality.

Each research direction is supported by national or provincial key projects, and the implementation process is highly reliable; it has a high-level academic team with a reasonable structure and good research conditions to achieve the expected research goals. , and has good prospects for sustainable development.
