Key Summary
About: Sabancı University's BSc in Material Science and Nanoengineering teaches materials science, nanoengineering and polymers across physics, chemistry, biology and mechanical engineering. It combines theory and hands-on skills for designing advanced materials. Programmes run in English on the green Tuzla, Istanbul campus. Founded after Sabancı Group's 1994–95 initiative, SU ranks top in Turkey (THE 500–600), offers affordable tuition and strong scholarships, and links to Sabancı Group's industry network.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue career opportunities in R&D, materials or process engineering, nanotechnology, polymer manufacturing, product development, quality control, technical consulting, regulatory affairs, operations management, entrepreneurship, or academic research and study.
Materials Science and Nanoengineering is an interdisciplinary field that is closely related to diverse disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, or chemical and mechanical engineering and mechanics. Materials Science and Nanoengineering (MAT) aims at furnishing its students with the theoretical and practical skills necessary for the understanding, design, and application of advanced technology materials.
Industrial production based on polymers, in particular, can be low-cost, and not consume a large amount of space or energy --making this an attractive field for small-scale venture capital undertakings. More generally, and as a result of the interdisciplinary nature and flexibility of the MAT program, its graduates are likely to enjoy job opportunities ranging from basic and applied research in the physical, chemical, or biological sciences to industries concentrating on advanced technological materials.
Program Educational Objectives
Sabancı University, Materials Science and NanoEngineering (MAT) graduates;
- Work in engineering, research and development, production, operations and management departments of national or international companies as engineers who can solve technical problems, take initiative, develop and execute projects, collaborate with others in a team and undertake the responsibilities of a leader;
- Enroll in positions at leading academic and research institutions that have completed master and Ph.D. programs of respected universities by conducting original research in related disciplines or in an interdisciplinary manner;
- Leverage their entrepreneurial skills and establish start-up companies, which are founded upon state-of-the-art technology and respond to the needs of the society and industry, either individually or with partners, and develop their businesses and become leaders;
With the foundations, knowledge, vision, motivation, and experience they acquire from their undergraduate education.

Education System
At SU, students have the chance to choose their majors after their first or second academic year. This allows students to decide what program to study at university with greater understanding about higher education and about their own academic and career interests and talents.
Medium of Instruction and Language Proficiency
The medium of instruction at Sabancı University is English. All undergraduates are required to take the Sabancı University English Language Assessment Exam (ELAE). Students who pass this exam begin their undergraduate programs while those who do not meet the standards of English language proficiency enroll into School of Languages. School of Languages is the English prep school where students learn English for one semester or one year depending on their English proficiency level.
The students who can certify that they have passed one of the national and/or international foreign language examinations at a level determined by the university are entitled to begin undergraduate programs.
