Master of Applied Science in Materials Engineering

About this programme

A degree in Materials Engineering at UBC will provide you with the opportunity to join our exciting and vibrant research activities, which extend across materials extraction, materials processing, and materials performance. As a graduate student in the program, you will conduct independent and collaborative research within one of our research groupings. Researchers in the Department are actively investigating materials engineering challenges that span across the lifecycle of materials, and include a range of material systems. We have graduate students using a range of techniques and approaches, which encompass the development and application of ideas that extend the full range of theory, simulation and experiment. Research programs in our department mix fundamental know-how with real-world impact, often working directly with a range of industrial and academic partners from around the world. For specific program requirements, please refer to the departmental program website Our research-focussed masters programs provide our students with a core grounding with graduate course in materials engineering and related engineering disciplines, together with an exciting research project in one of many dynamic research groupings. Our research blends fundamental know-how with real world impact, to create and sustain change in the world around us through the development and use of materials that underpin our everyday lives. Recent research developments in our department are helping to reduce the environmental impact in the mining industry, developing lightweight and sustainable trans
