 | Graduates will stay ahead of the curve with the breadth and depth of its industry-aligned curriculum. Students will learn from globally renowned scientists as they master materials for applications in advanced technologies and diverse industries. Materials Engineering programme includes coursework, practical hands-on laboratory work, 20 weeks of professional internship and a final year project. The coursework will cover fundamental sciences and mathematics relevant to Materials Science, as well as provide in-depth understanding of key material properties and behaviours. As students advance to Y2 and Y3, materials science, processing, characterisation and applications of materials will be studied in more depth. The industrial attachment takes place in Year 3. In Year 4, students can opt to take advanced topics that lead to specialisations in various areas of materials engineering. |
Materials Engineering offers adaptability for employment across a range of industries. The robustness of the programme provides graduates with in-depth knowledge in fundamental sciences and engineering.
#1 in Asia and #2 in the world for Materials Science, according to the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject.
Accelerated Bachelor's Programme
If students perform extremely well in their first semester of Year 1, they will be offered entry into the Accelerated Bachelor’s Programme. The degree could be completed in 7 semesters (3.5 years) instead of the usual 8 semesters (4 years).
