Master of Science in Sustainable Materials Engineering
In this Master's programme you acquire thorough knowledge about the production and recycling processes and the structure-performance relationships of materials. The programme covers a spectrum of materials, ranging from metals and polymers, to textiles and composites. Sustainability aspects are incorporated throughout the programme, for example through developing circular production processing, increasing energy efficiency and material innovation. Graduates are in high demand in the industry, public service and scientific research

Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
Students who wish to enrol for the Master of Science in Sustainable Materials Engineering can enter the programme without any prerequisites if they hold the following diploma: an academic diploma of Bachelor (or Master) of Science in Engineering (university level, minimum of three years), with the main subject in Chemical Engineering and/or Materials Science and/or Civil Engineering and/or Engineering Physics and/or Electromechanical Engineering, or an equivalent to this.
Admission can only be granted after an individual application procedure. The Study Programme Committee will make the final decision whether to accept the application or not. The Study Programme Committee can decide that students need to follow a preparatory course or an individual master’s programme, for instance for students who hold another diploma of Bachelor or Master.
Information on admission requirements and the administrative procedure for admission on the basis of a diploma obtained abroad, can be found on the following page: www.ugent.be/prospect/en/administration/enrolment-or-registration.

Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Going abroad with Erasmus is wide-spread and well-known. But getting an international experience is possible in many different ways.
