Program Overview
Advances in technology depends more and more on the discovery and development of new materials having particular desired properties. In addition to mechanical strength, various structural, optical, electrical, magnetic and thermal properties are demanded from materials depending on the application. The field of Materials Science and Engineering investigates different classes of materials -metals, ceramics, polymers, electronic materials, biomaterials- with an emphasis on the relationships between the underlying structure and the processing, properties, and performance of the materials.
Understanding various material properties is the first step in finding ways to tailor these properties to meet some particular need or application, and for creating entirely new materials having particular desired properties. The M.S. program in Material Science & Engineering at Koç University is an interdisciplinary program with the objective of giving the students the fundamental physical and chemical knowledge required for material synthesis, structure-property characterization and processing; and complementing this with practical laboratory experience.
Qualification Awarded
Master of Science with Thesis in Material Science and Engineering
Admission Requirements
- All the applicants should apply through ONLINE APPLICATION PROGRAM.
- Personal and Educational Background Information (CV)
- Recommendation Letters (2 for MSc, 3 for Ph.D) (3 for MS in Molecular Biology and Genetics)
- TOEFL or YDS/e-YDS/YOKDIL Requirement (for those whose native language is not English)

Admission Requirements
The applications of the candidates are received through the online system. Shortlisted candidates among those who have completed their applications will be interviewed. Graduate Program coordinators will send all the information about the proposed applicants to the program and types of scholarship proposed for each candidate by the deadline to the Graduate School. Prospective student evaluation proposals are evaluated by the Executive Committee of the Graduate School and forwarded to the Office of Vice President for Research and Development (VPRD). The Office of Vice President for Research and Development (VPRD) and the Directors of the Graduate Schools evaluate the candidates who have been evaluated and proposed by the Graduate School Executive Committees at a meeting and decide on possible changes.
Exchange Opportunities
The number of exchange program partners has increased rapidly over the years and the number of partner institutions has exceeded 100.
