Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Highly recommend"
I was sceptical before starting โ now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, admin can be slow to respond, especially at start of term. On the city โ public transport and bike culture are excellent. Overall, if you're considering Materials Science and Technology, Master's Programme (2 years) at Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, I'd say go for it.
"Exceeded expectations"
The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city โ teaching is notably student-centred; relationships with lecturers are close. Overall, if you're considering Materials Science and Technology, Master's Programme (2 years) at Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, I'd say go for it.
