The Master's degree studies in Materials Science and Engineering (spec. Materials for Energy) are an interdisciplinary course which equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary in the area of advanced materials science, with a particular focus on materials for energy-related applications. The main objective of the course is to develop expertise in materials used in energy generation, storage, and conversion, including their design, characterization, fabrication, and application in diverse energy sectors.

The master's programme in Engineering Materials Science has a cross-functional approach, focusing on the understanding of existing materials, processes and applications, as well as the development of new ones. Students can specialise in Industrial Materials, Materials and Process Design, or Sustainable Materials. Graduates have valuable expertise in materials science needed in many industries and sectors, for example, manufacturing, automotive and energy.

Novel materials have the power to completely transform the health, climate, tech, and energy sectors. Materials engineers learn how to create, test, and implement cutting-edge materials to solve today's and tomorrow’s problems. A fundamental understanding of materials science, materials engineering, and manufacturing are critical for students with a BS degree in biomedical engineering, civil engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or other backgrounds to further their materials knowledge. Through this professional training, students will be equipped with the knowledge needed to diversify career opportunities in academia, industry, and startups.

A graduate certificate in materials science and engineering that develops a foundation of materials-oriented knowledge, conceptualization, product development, and production decisions needed to strive in engineering.

The Master's Degree in Materials Science and Engineering aims to provide comprehensive, advanced and specialized training in the field of materials and their associated technologies.

Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field investigating the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. Materials Scientists and Engineers are at the center of virtually every area of technology from optoelectronics to space materials and from automotive and automotive manufacturing to biomedical devices.

Master in Materials Engineering provides advanced education in materials engineering, with two fields of specialization: a more generalized education in materials and another in metallurgy. The study cycle offers a background in materials science and technology, focusing on product design, processing technologies, and characterization techniques, addressing all classes of materials in the specialization on materials and, more specifically, metallic materials in the case of the specialization in metallurgy. This is complemented with education in management and interdisciplinary competencies.

The doctor of philosophy program in materials engineering and science (MES) offers a student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of materials production, behavior, and applications. The student will undertake multidisciplinary approaches, combining the basic elements of both engineering and science, to the solution of materials-related problems. Because such problems are found in every science and engineering discipline, the degree applicant has considerable flexibility in the selection of the department in which to pursue dissertation research, within the confines of the applicant‘s academic preparation and interests. Candidates will study either a science or engineering emphasis within the MES Ph.D. program. For example, research emphasis may be placed on improving processes for the production of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, or other structural or electronic materials. Alternatively, the degree candidate may investigate mechanisms for improving material properties, which in turn, could lead to new or better applications. Classroom and individualized instruction will provide the necessary theory to complement such creative activities.

The international Master’s programme in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at NTNU is designed for students who want to dive deep into the science behind advanced materials and chemical processes, and apply this knowledge to solve real-world challenges.

The University of Alicante Master's Course in Materials Science is aimed to provide specialized and advanced training in a scientific area of great fundamental and technical impact such as Materials and, more specifically, Nanomaterials. It is mainly aimed at graduates who have obtained their degree in Science within Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials Engineering.

The M.S./MES degree offers an education in the broad area of materials. Students pursuing this degree will expand their knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of materials synthesis, behavior, and production. Graduates of the program formulate solutions to materials problems through the use of multi-disciplinary approaches made possible with a broad background in basic materials science and engineering coupled with an area of specialization.
