Master in Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering

Tuition fees for Master in Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering are 1,679 USD per year.

National Dong Hwa University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, located in Eastern Taiwan, offers a master's degree program taught in English. Materials science and engineering is the discipline that studies the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and semiconductors, and applies this understanding to develop and improve materials used in technology and industry. Students in this field study the relationship between a material's atomic and molecular structure and its physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, learning how processing methods can be used to tailor materials for specific applications. Coursework typically covers topics such as crystallography, thermodynamics, materials characterization techniques, and the design and processing of specific material classes, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and electronic or semiconductor materials. Laboratory work is a central part of training in this discipline, giving students hands-on experience with material synthesis, testing, and characterization using specialized instruments and techniques. Because materials underpin nearly every area of modern technology, from electronics and energy systems to construction and manufacturing, this field connects closely with other engineering and scientific disciplines. Graduates of materials science and engineering programs pursue careers in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, aerospace, automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturing, working as materials engineers, research scientists, or quality and process engineers. Others take on roles in research and development laboratories, working to design new materials or improve existing ones for specific technical applications. Some graduates continue into doctoral study to pursue deeper research specialization or academic careers. As an English-taught master's program based in Eastern Taiwan, this degree is designed for students seeking graduate-level training in materials science within a Taiwanese academic and technology-oriented research setting.
