Overview

Key facts

Ghent University's programme Master of Science in Sustainable Materials Engineering materials aims at the study of properties, production or extraction, processing, use and recycling of a whole range of materials. This implies:

description and modelling of properties of material
schemical, mechanical and thermal processing aspects in materials engineering
effect of the chemical composition and processing conditions on the structure and properties of materials in view of optimal performance
behaviour of materials in different user circumstances and how degradation can be limited.

The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture (FEA) offers most of the Master’s programmes in Engineering in English. This underlines the international ambition of the faculty, as well as the importance of international education and multiple language skills for students.
