The Master in Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS) extends over 24 months. By the time of graduation, the student must have completed 24 credits (14 credits in mandatory and 10 in elective courses), in addition to a Master's dissertation. The MEMS is intended for students with a degree in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Technology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Biology, and related areas, aiming to pursue advanced studies in Engineering and Materials Science.
The 14 credits in mandatory courses must be selecteced among the following.
Excess credits in mandatory courses can be counted as elective credits. In addition, an English proficiency exam, aimed at reading and understanding texts, is also mandatory.
The Doctorate in Engineering and Materials Science (DEMS) extends over 48 months. By the time of graduation, the student must have completed 32 credits (16 credits in mandatory and 16 credits in elective courses), in addition to a Doctoral thesis. The Master's credits can be counted in as long as they were completed less than five years ago. The DEMS is intended for students with a Master's Degree in Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and related areas.
The 16 credits in mandatory courses must be selected among the following.

Excess credits in mandatory courses can be counted as elective credits. In addition, a proficiency exam in a foreign language other than English (already assessed for the Master's degree), aimed at reading and understanding texts, is also mandatory.
A qualifying exam is due up to 12 months from enrollment as a regular MEMS student (24 months for DEMS). In the qualifying exam, the candidate must present his/her dissertation or thesis project before an examining committee according to the program regulations. The dissertation or thesis consists of a written work carried out under the advice of a professor of the Program and presented before an examining board, according to Program's regulations.
