The high-standard, full-time Materials Engineering MSc programme provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and focuses on enhancing their engineering skills through the faculty’s strong connections with leading companies.
This well-regarded programme is especially beneficial for future factory or plant engineers, and chemical technological engineers offering in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in their chosen specialization.
The program is unique, focusing on two specializations: polymer engineering and chemical technology engineering.
Materials engineers trained in this program can develop various polymer materials and composites and manage the recycling of these materials.
After you submit your application, your documents are checked, to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. Applications from candidates without the necessary qualifications (BSc degree), language certifications (B2 or higher), or proof of studies conducted in English are rejected. Applications not supported by the sending country are also rejected at this stage.
The faculty coordinator arranges a 15-20-minute Skype-interview for you with the Entrance Examination Committee. During this interview you will be asked to introduce yourself, discuss your BSc thesis briefly, share your scientific background, future goals, and explain why you want to study in Hungary. You can score a maximum of 100 points, but you need at least 65 points to be admitted.
The online entrance exam lasts 20-30 minutes and includes pre-set questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge, professional skills, thesis or project work, and language proficiency. Applicants can score up to 70 points: for professional background 50 points, spoken language skills 20 points.
The Entrance Examination Board includes programme leads from both Universities. Applicants can score a maximum of 100 points (30 points for document assessment and 70 points from the online entrance exam). Those who score at least 60 points will be admitted to the programme. Those who score less than 60 points will be rejected.
With an MSc degree in Materials Engineering, you can work in various high-demand roles all over the world, such as factory or plant engineering, chemical engineering, or as a self-employed engineer. Graduates with a polymer specialisation can focus on developing and recycling polymers, while those with a chemical technology specialization can work in chemical compound development, environmental protection, and waste material recycling.
