COURSE DESCRIPTION
Overview
Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials occur naturally. All the rest have been microscopically engineered originally by nature, but increasingly by materials engineers/scientists. The Master of Materials Technology is the leading Australian postgraduate degree for those looking to pursue a career in this field.
Your study will include both a coursework component (75%) and a research component (25%). This degree covers a broad spectrum of materials science and engineering, emphasising the application of the basic sciences to the understanding of the structure, properties and processing of materials. This program is suitable for graduates with science, engineering, technology or related backgrounds.
Key features
- Flexible study options
This program focuses on materials processing, design, technology and industry management. You’ll choose elective courses from a wide range of topics – from process metallurgy and phase transformations to thermodynamics, kinetics and?polymer science. This degree also includes a component of experimental or design project work and an original?research project in a specialisation of your choice. - Our unique course offering
UNSW’s School of Materials Science and Engineering is the only school in Australia that offers professional courses in ceramic engineering, metallurgical engineering and materials engineering. - Wide range of career opportunities
Careers in materials science can range from developing new integrated circuits, transport vehicles, battery devices and medical implants, through to sustainable materials processing and the development of new materials for green energy generation.
Career opportunities
Materials science and engineering qualifications open up career opportunities in many industries all over the world. You could work in a range of areas, including:
fundamental scientific research
manufacturing and materials processing
