The Master of Science (Materials Science and Engineering)
If you want to work in roles that develop technology — from the behaviour of materials at the nanoscale to their performance within larger systems — the MSc in Materials Science and Engineering was designed for you.
The programme moves across composition, structure, and fabrication, with emphasis on how these variables translate into function. It is offered as a general track, alongside a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence for Functional Materials. On this route, you will work across machine learning, atomistic modelling, and materials informatics, applying data-driven methods to predict material behaviour, optimise structures, and accelerate discovery.
“AI is transforming materials discovery, compressing years of experimentation into days,” says Provost's Chair Professor Shyue Ping Ong. “Our MSE graduates are equipped with machine learning, high-throughput computation, and data-driven design skills that industry demands, positioning them at the frontier of this revolution.”
If you are seeking experimental depth, a dedicated project course offers supervised research within faculty labs, supported by facilities ideal for MSc candidates. Upon graduating, you will qualify for roles across semiconductors, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing.
