The Master’s in Materials and Chemical Engineering at Shanghai Maritime University is a graduate‑level engineering program (typically three years) that equips students with advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills in materials science, chemical engineering principles, and their applications in maritime and industrial contexts. The curriculum covers core subjects such as material properties and processing, corrosion and protection for marine environments, polymer and composite materials, chemical reaction engineering, process design, and environmental engineering, with an emphasis on solving real‑world challenges in shipbuilding, offshore structures, and marine equipment systems. Through a blend of coursework, laboratory research, and project‑based learning, students develop capabilities in material selection and testing, chemical process optimization, and sustainable engineering design, preparing them for careers in marine materials development, chemical processing, corrosion control, manufacturing industries, research institutes, and sectors that require advanced expertise in materials and chemical technologies.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
