The Department's materials research focuses on innovating processes and models, particularly for advanced transportation materials and medical biomaterials, addressing large-scale societal needs like lightweight materials, sustainable metallurgical methods, and biomedical materials for tissue repair. Strong industry partnerships are cultivated through Industrial Research Chairs, blending applied research with fundamental investigations into microstructural behaviors and material properties.
Students can pursue specialized studies in metal casting/solidification, ceramics, corrosion, composite materials, hydrometallurgy, electrorefining, physical metallurgy, pyrometallurgy, remelting techniques, thermomechanical processing, and environmentally sustainable methods.
Our research-intensive Master's programs integrate cutting-edge projects with UBC coursework, requiring 18 credits (minimum 12 graduate-level) plus a thesis. These programs typically span 18-24 months for completion.
