A broad multi-disciplinary area of science, Materials Science seeks to advance the understanding, prediction, and application of the properties of matter. Through this program, offered jointly by Trent University and Ontario Tech University, students build on and incorporate fundamental science principles into their graduate level research project. Develop skills in project management and effective communication of technical information as you prepare for future-ready success in today’s modern environment of research and development in both the public and private sectors.Our research-based M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs provide both a broad and integrated overview of materials science and the opportunity for in-depth study of a particular problem emphasizing either theory or experiment, under the guidance of a thesis advisor and a multi-disciplinary team of faculty from Trent University and Ontario Tech University. The program comprises coursework and a thesis and will lay the foundations required to excel in the modern work environment or in the pursuit of further academic inquiry.
