📚About the Program

Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering at Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Materials are everywhere: in our phones, in our buildings, in our cars, in our food packaging and and perhaps even in our bodies! A Master’s in Materials Science comprises the study of materials from the atomic scale to the macro scale. It’s fundamentally concerned with the effect of processing methods, as well as structure and chemistry, on the properties of materials. An MSc degree in Materials Science and Engineering also includes the use of these engineering materials in different environments, whilst also covering various applications and areas of society. The programme teaches you how to use your knowledge to synthesize new materials with unique properties, and to characterize, evaluate, and improve the processing and characteristics of existing materials.
