Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D)
Materials Science and Engineering
The Program leading to the degree of “Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering”, or Ph.D. (MSE), aims to provide students with an advanced graduate education that will prepare them for professional careers as high-level materials scientists and engineers in industry, academia, or the public sector. The Ph.D. (MSE) Program is specifically designed to enable students to (a) obtain a broad, integrated, interdisciplinary understanding of the four core elements of MSE – the structure/composition, properties, synthesis/processing, and performance of materials – and their interrelationships; (b) acquire a specialized, thorough knowledge of at least one class of materials (e.g., ceramics, polymers, composites, alloys, semiconductors, etc.); and (c) gain the competence to undertake original and independent research in materials science and engineering.
Master of Science (M.Sc)
Materials Science and Engineering
The Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering (M.Sc. MSE) program is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and technical expertise in the field of materials science. It provides a strong foundation in the fundamental principles of materials synthesis, processing, characterization, and performance, preparing graduates for professional careers as materials scientists and engineers in both industry and the public sector.
The program emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to solving real-world challenges in emerging technologies, including nanotechnology, energy storage, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable materials. Students will develop critical skills in materials selection, failure analysis, and the design of innovative materials with tailored properties for applications in electronics, aerospace, biomedical devices, and more.
Through a combination of rigorous coursework, hands-on laboratory experience, and research opportunities, graduates of the program will be well-prepared to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in materials science, whether in academia, R&D, or industrial settings.
