Materials Science and Engineering

  Materials Science and Engineering is helpful to develop materials for various engineering applications. It is a key engineering field to support the social infrastructure from information and telecommunication to construction, transportation, energy, environment, medicine, and welfare.
  The program is jointly operated by the graduate school and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). Prominent scientists from NIMS join the graduate school faculty to supervise student´s research for a Ph.D. degree. The students handle world-class facilities and equipment to participate in state-of-the-art research activities, while they gain broader perspective through active communication with researchers from overseas.



  The program is involved in the latter part of doctoral courses. However, students may gain a Master degree under supervision of the faculty members after they finish any Materials Science and Engineering Course included in other programs of the graduate school; Chemistry, Frontier Science, Applied Physics, and Materials Science.

Requirements for the Degree Program
  Students should take all of following credits; Materials Science and Engineering Seminar I, II (one credit each), and Special Study on Materials Science and Engineering I, II, III (six credits each). Submit a doctoral thesis after receiving the credits. Those who succeed in the thesis and pass a final examination will be granted a Ph. D. in Engineering. It is possible to complete the Doctoral Program in one year at earliest for students with important achievements.
