Overview

About Materials Science at Zewail City of Science and Technology

After getting a solid foundation in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics during the first two years, the students start to explore advanced techniques for material modeling, synthesis, and characterization. During the fourth year, students can focus on studying advanced materials or materials modeling. These concentrations are supported strongly by advanced research facilities. Students will gain hands-on experience in the development and characterization of novel materials along with applications that have potential social, environmental, and economic benefits. The program is preparing students for careers in industry, education, and research, with the capability to compete and excel in the ever-expanding world of materials science.

Within a few years of graduation, materials science program alumni will have:

• Gained employment in academic, governmental, or industry in the field of materials science in its broad context ranging from materials synthesis, characterization, and utilization;

• Created value by analyzing and designing sustainable solutions to problems involving materials for energy and pollution abatement;

• Successfully engaged in advanced studies in materials science and establishing ties to international institutions;

• Actively participated in research development in materials science, both in theoretical and experimental fronts; and

• Facilitated collaboration and built strong professional relationships by working successfully in multi-disciplinary teams and effectively communicating with a diverse group of stakeholders.
