Materials Science and Engineering

This MSc builds on prior engineering, natural science, or materials-science knowledge to train students as materials experts. The curriculum covers core materials-science foundations first and then shifts toward hands-on research, with specialisations in engineering materials, modelling, and nano and hybrid materials.

Minimum GPA
