Materials Science and Chemical Engineering - Master's Programme

Master in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering – shape tomorrow’s technology

Are you an engineering graduate passionate about materials, chemistry, and sustainability?

The MSc in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at NTNU gives you deep insight into advanced materials and chemical processes—and how to apply them to real-world challenges.

You can specialize in materials science (e.g., metallurgy, functional materials, energy technology) or chemical engineering (e.g., catalysis, reactor design, membrane technology). The programme combines theory, lab work, programming, and project-based learning—equipping you with skills in high demand across modern industries.

What you will learn:

• Modeling and analysis of materials and processes
• Sustainable design with minimal environmental impact
• Interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation
• Digital tools and research-based project work

You will be qualified for careers in energy, chemical industry, environmental technology, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing—or further studies on the PhD level.

The degree also leads to the Sivilingeniør title in Norway, opening doors to leadership roles in technology and innovation.
