Program Information

About the Programs

The aim of the Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering Program is to graduate students who are competent in basic and engineering sciences, have analytical thinking skills, have design and production skills in the field of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering, and will work in R&D and academic units. In addition to this, it is to prepare its students, who gain the importance and awareness of continuous learning, for business and social life in a way that they can adapt to changing priorities and conditions after graduation, take an active role in teamwork, and work in national and international projects.

In direction of these aims in the program, in addition to technical and professional courses such as basic sciences, engineering sciences, materials science and their nanotechnological applications, socio-technical and elective socio-cultural courses regarding global and social problems are given, as well.

Technical and professional courses within the scope of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering are given theoretically and practically. Courses are supported by laboratory applications, computer-aided applications, individual and group studies and design projects.

The Department of Materials Science and Nanotechnology Engineering has a unique and innovative curriculum with its up-to-date, flexible and multidisciplinary structure. Thanks to the all-English curriculum, our students prepare themselves for professional life after graduation with internships in leading technology companies in Turkiye and abroad or in the academic field in the eighth semester.
