Doctor PhD Degree Materials Science Engineering

The Doctor Ph.D. Degree in Materials Science Engineering focuses on the important properties of metals, ceramics, and polymers and their composites. You study how structural elements relate to material characteristics, including mechanical behavior and failure. The degree also covers corrosive, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties, plus relevant economic, environmental, and societal issues.

This Ph.D. program is delivered online via distance learning. The structure uses 70% textbooks and 30% thesis. It requires 45 to 72 academic credits above a Master’s program, including coursework in Materials Science Engineering Online and research methodology and a final project or thesis.

It is designed for adults and professionals. Admission is open for adults over 27 years of age, with a Master’s degree (or international equivalent) required. An academic supervisor is listed as Wolf Dettmer.
