Offered by: Mining & Materials Engineering (Faculty of Engineering)
Degree: Master of Science
Program credit weight: 45
Program Description
The M.Sc. in Materials Engineering (Thesis) is a research-oriented program that focuses on research skills and knowledge of materials engineering through coursework and a research thesis under the supervision of a Faculty member (professor). Emphasis is placed on research methods, as well as fundamentals. As such, the program is the more suitable option for those whose primary interest is research. The M.Sc. (Thesis) is for candidates with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or from a discipline relevant to materials engineering.
