Master in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering

For Master in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, tuition is 3,872 USD per year.

Materials and Manufacturing Engineering examines both the physical properties of engineering materials and the processes used to turn raw materials into finished products. Students in a master's program typically study metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites alongside manufacturing methods such as casting, forming, machining, and quality control systems. The discipline blends materials science, which explains why materials behave the way they do under stress, heat, or corrosion, with production engineering, which focuses on how components are manufactured efficiently and reliably at scale. Coursework often includes materials characterization techniques, process design, failure analysis, and increasingly, automation and digital tools used in modern manufacturing environments. Career paths for graduates include materials engineer, manufacturing or process engineer, quality assurance specialist, and research roles in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and heavy industry, all of which depend on dependable materials and efficient production. Some graduates move into research and development for new materials, while others focus on optimizing existing production lines for cost, speed, or sustainability. This program is offered at Hanbat National University, located in Yuseong-gu, South Korea, and is taught in English, so international applicants are not required to demonstrate Korean proficiency to enroll. The degree takes two years to complete, with intake sessions available in either March or September. The combination of materials theory and manufacturing practice gives graduates the technical range to work across design, testing, and production stages of an engineering project.
