The Master’s program in Materials Science at Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) is offered through the Graduate School of Engineering within the Department of Materials Science, where students pursue advanced study and research focused on understanding the structure, properties, processing, and applications of materials that are central to modern technology and industry. The program builds on interdisciplinary foundations in physics, chemistry, and engineering to explore the relationships between the atomic- to micro-scale structure of materials and their functionality, enabling innovations in metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, energy materials, and nanomaterials that address contemporary societal needs such as sustainability, energy conversion, and biocompatibility. Students engage in specialized coursework and hands-on research under faculty supervision, selecting and developing their own thesis projects that integrate experimental techniques, theoretical analysis, and design principles to solve real-world materials challenges. This research-oriented master’s pathway emphasizes the cultivation of independent scientific thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate research outcomes, preparing graduates for careers in research, industry, and advanced technological development. Prospective international students planning to earn a degree in English must contact and secure a faculty supervisor before applying, while those fluent in Japanese may also choose to complete the program in Japanese with a similar pre-application supervisory agreement.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements.
