Introduction
Generic Objectives
Master in Materials Engineering provides advanced education in materials engineering, with two fields of specialization: a more generalized education in materials and another in metallurgy. The study cycle offers a background in materials science and technology, focusing on product design, processing technologies, and characterization techniques, addressing all classes of materials in the specialization on materials and, more specifically, metallic materials in the case of the specialization in metallurgy. This is complemented with education in management and interdisciplinary competencies.
Who should apply?
Applicants with a degree in Materials Engineering (or suitable area), Physics, or Chemistry, who wish to acquire an advanced education in Materials Science and Technology in order to carry out a professional activity in Industry, in the Services or in R&D, being able to perform a professional career in any area of the Materials Engineering.
Accreditation
The study cycle is accredited by the Higher Education Assessment and Accreditation Agency (A3ES – Agência de Avaliação e Acreditação do Ensino Superior).

Program Outcome
The advanced education in Materials Engineering proposed by M.EMAT prepares engineers to meet the challenges of modern society:
- to think and operate in the broad field of Materials Engineering;
- to prevent, analyse and solve engineering problems in diverse contexts, including the most relevant social, scientific and ethical
issues; - to develop optimisation and innovation projects for materials and processes, and assess their economic, social and
environmental impact; - to interact with peers within multidisciplinary teams, in a collaborative, ethically and professionally responsible manner.
Career Opportunities
Graduates in Materials Engineering can pursue professional activity in Industry, in the Services or in R&D, being able to perform a professional career in any area of the Materials Engineering.
The main professional opportunities cover a large number of companies that require expert engineers in metal, polymer, ceramics, composites and biomaterials, materials production and processing, foundry, heat treatments, corrosion and coating applications, component design, inspection, system tests and certification, environmental management and waste treatments, operation management and continuous improvement.
The Materials Engineer, with sound training in Materials Science and Engineering, is fully prepared to play an important role in core Engineering areas such as Production, Project, Planning, Logistics, Commerce, Environment, Quality, Management, Continuous Improvement and R&I&I.
