Master of Materials Science and Technology

Course details

Materials Science and Technology is a new interdisciplinary field that is needed in the modern society. The program will focus on the understanding of scientific principles, analysis and evaluation of the characteristics and behavior of materials, including microstructures, physical and chemical properties, energy thermodynamics of materials, transformation states and processes, compound materials and research on industrial applications of specific materials.

This is the first initiative MSc in Materials Science in Qatar and it will bring industry and some governmental institutes with academia to develop an important postgraduate program that can lead to a PhD degree and will  serve Qatar vision 2030 to develop a knowledge-based economy. The program will deliver graduate education and research opportunities for students and professionals in 35 credit hours leading to the Master of Science in Materials Science and Technology.  

The program will help in solving key issues facing the world in energy, environment, communication, health care and transport. The understanding of the atomic and microscopic levels of materials through this program will lead to improvement of materials in many areas, such as new composites for more energy efficient applications, better radiation protection, safer biomaterials and greener materials for the environment.
