The MSc programme in Materials Science and Engineering is suited for graduates wishing to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and skills that will put them in the forefront for research, development, production and management positions in the fast growing electronics industry, in aerospace, in consumer industries, and in the basic materials preparation and producing industries.

The programme's curriculum is similar to that at MIT where students are exposed to courses that cut across five classes of materials : biomaterials, ceramics, electronic materials, metals and polymers. The materials science component of the programme emphasizes the study of the structure of materials and of processing-structure-property relations in materials. The materials engineering component emphasizes the importance of materials processing where improved performance of materials depends directly on advances in processing. Therefore, by selecting appropriate subjects, the student can follow many different paths through the science and engineering of materials, with emphasis on engineering, science, or a mixture of the two.

Each course taught in the programme will be supported by a faculty at MUST and MIT.

Required Academic Preparation Coursework

Admission to the programme is opened to those with a good undergraduate degree in mechanical and materials science engineering, polymer science, physical chemistry and physics.
