Overview
In the Metallurgical Engineering Master of Science program the research will be concerned with more engineering aspects of metallic materials, such as high temperature mechanical properties which include creep, fatigue, and fracture properties of alloys, powder metallurgy, tribology, and solidification processing. Through their research projects, students will have opportunities to learn the use of modern instrumental techniques including mechanical testing systems (MTS), electron microscopy, small-angle and wide-angle X-ray diffraction and Raman, infrared and X-ray photoelectron infrared spectroscopy.
The department offers programs of graduate study both in Materials Science and in Metallurgical Engineering. Graduate students may choose one of these programs depending on their desired emphasis, their undergraduate training and the research topic chosen. In the Materials Science program students may pursue studies in Polymeric Materials, Metallic Materials, Ceramic Materials, or other materials such as Composites or Biomaterials. The main emphasis is on the investigation of the structure at the molecular and atomic level and relating it to macroscopic properties of these materials such as strength, phase transitions or adhesion.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a baccalaureate degree (or higher) from a college or university regarded as standard by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program and the Graduate School).
GPA minimum 3.0 or equivalent
Standardized Tests of English Proficiency
Most students fulfill the English requirement by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Testing System (IELTS), or the PEARSON Test of English (PTE). For IELTS, an overall band score of 6.5 is sufficient for graduate admission. For PEARSON, a score of 47 is sufficient. TOEFL requirements vary based on the type of TOEFL test taken, and scores are valid for up to two years. The minimum university requirement is: 520 (paper-based test), or 190 (computer-based test), or 92 (internet-based test).
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
The balance of teaching quality and real-world experience has secured UC’s position amongst the world’s premier higher education institutions.
