Overview

The Department fosters a strong interaction with industry through their Industrial Research Chairs. Industrially oriented research in Materials Engineering from University of British Columbia is combined with fundamental studies to advance understanding of the microstructure mechanisms and resulting properties.

Features

The department has a strong research record, and is particularly proud of its mix of fundamental research coupled with industrial relevance and interaction.

In our research, we work closely with industry partners internationally. We have faculty with world-renowned expertise in hydrometallurgy, sustainability, nanomaterials, biomaterials and ceramics.

Recent research developments in the department are helping to reduce environmental impact in the mining industry and enabling new possibilities in medical treatments. We also have a leading role in MagNet, an initiative that aims to achieve significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector.

Programme Structure

Courses included:

Each M.A.Sc. and M.Sc. candidate will have a standing Supervisory Committee of faculty, consisting of the Research Supervisor(s).
