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.

Research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is conducted by 19 senior faculty members, seven professors emeriti, 18 research associates, between five and 10 post-doctorates, about 40 Ph.D. students, and about six MSc students.

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.

Our MSc Materials Engineering with Industry course is only open to International students.

As far back as the Stone Age, materials have played a significant and defining role in human development — central to contemporary prosperity and the keys to future social evolution. MSc in Materials Engineering, therefore, have an essential role to play in developing and refining the materials of today and tomorrow, exploring their limits and taking their potential to the next level.

The non-thesis Master of Science in Materials Engineering provides students an advanced level of knowledge in mechanical properties, materials structure, materials thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials.

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.

The non-thesis Master of Science in Materials Engineering provides students with an advanced level of knowledge in mechanical properties, materials structure, materials thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of materials.

The discovery, development and application of advanced materials is at the heart of engineering innovation. Informed by our close research collaborations with industry we are developing the next generation of talented materials scientists and engineers. With a fundamental interest in materials science, the MSc in Advanced Materials course will develop your understanding of materials’ properties, selection, processing and advanced design procedures.

The aim of the program is to issue MSc degree to materialsengineers having sound knowledge of structure, properties, behaviour of technical materials (such as metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and new functional materials). Based on their knowledge these engineers are able to develop, operate, organize, and manage manufacturing, forming, and processing technologies, they can conduct and co-ordinate research and development and continue their studies at postgraduate (PhD) level.

The Masters of Science (M.S.) degree program in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is designed for a broad range of students and professionals seeking to expand on their undergraduate training, enhance professional skills, and gain the experience necessary to become a professional scientist/engineer or to obtain a solid foundation for further education in science and engineering.

The MS in Materials Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University equips you with the expertise to lead advancements in automotive, biomedical, electronics, and energy technologies. With personalized faculty mentorship and access to world-class facilities, you can specialize in cutting-edge materials research. Choose from three flexible program formats to match your career goals.

The Materials Science program is an interdisciplinary M.S. program aimed at providing a rigorous education in materials science and the fundamental physics and chemistry that underlie this discipline. Educational goals are achieved through both coursework and training in cross-disciplinary research supervised by one science faculty member. The courses offer an overview of the types of materials; their chemical and physical structures; and properties.

Materials Science and Technology is a master’s program with a focus on developing and commercializing new materials and their applications. Studies of materials science and the basics of entrepreneurship are combined with activities aimed at creating a product and its manufacturing technology.

MSc in Materials Engineering for Industry 4.0 Our world will have to undergo radical changes in production methods in the future, and the conceiving and successful introduction of efficient and appealing products, manufactured via sustainable processes, will be an essential step. This is the paradigm of the fourth industrial revolution - Industry 4.0 – and the innovation of materials is one of the key pillars of such a revolution.
