Our Master of Science Programme (Materials Science & Engineering)
Making fast-charging and long-lasting batteries for electric cars, building next-generation quantum computers, and even converting air, sunlight and water into renewable fuels; Materials Science Engineers can be found battling the world’s greatest challenges.
Materials Science and Engineering is a dynamic, interdisciplinary field of research combining basic sciences with applied engineering. It strives to deepen a fundamental understanding of how structures and processes on atomic, nano-, and micro-scales lead to familiar engineering properties and functions.
The interest in physical and chemical phenomena over large magnitudes of space and time scales differs from physics or chemistry where the emphasis is on explaining the properties of pure substances. We are able to develop novel methods to design materials by varying the compositions, the structures, and through the processing of bulk and surface phase materials during fabrication. This distinguishes Materials Science and Engineering from other branches of engineering where the emphasis is more on applications.

Admission Requirements
- Relevant Bachelor’s degree with 2nd Class Honours or its equivalent. Although candidates with a good first degree and some practical working experience are usually admitted, the above-mentioned are minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission.
- Candidates with other qualifications and achievements deemed to be suitably prepared for the programme of study may also be considered on a case-by-case basis
- Candidates are expected to be proficient in English, as it is the medium of instruction at NUS. Relevant work experience, particularly in the fields of mechanical engineering and/or robotic engineering, is also highly desirable.
