Master of Materials Science and Engineering

This program offers you the opportunity to participate in both coursework and research. You will have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art infrastructure. This is available at the world-renowned Global Innovative Centre for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN). You will undertake research related to the design and discovery of new materials, such as:

This program will develop and train the next generation of material scientists and engineers. You will gain an understanding of how the processing of a material influences its structure, properties and performance. You will learn to apply this knowledge to address challenging issues in a variety of fields, including: This program is delivered through the Global Innovative Centre for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN), and in collaboration with industry partner CSIRO. Aimed to develop and train the next generation of material scientists. The University of Newcastle’s Master of Materials Science and Engineering program provides students the opportunity to broaden and/or deepen their Materials Engineering technical competency in one of several specialised areas including materials synthesis, materials characterisation techniques, material applications in specific environments, as well as applications of Materials Science in energy, electronics, environment, life science and biology. Students are exposed to capstone level courses in advanced materials and engineering and complete a master’s level research thesis. This program produces graduates with the knowledge, technical and professional attributes to provide innovative materials science solutions to society’s needs both now and into the future.
