Master in Applied Materials Engineering

At HANBAT NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, tuition fees are 5,742,000 KRW per year.

Applied Materials Engineering focuses on how materials science translates into practical, industrial-scale applications, particularly in advanced technology sectors. A master's curriculum in this area typically covers semiconductor materials, nanomaterials, thin-film technology, and the characterization methods engineers use to evaluate material performance under real operating conditions. Students study the relationship between a material's internal structure and its electrical, mechanical, or optical properties, then apply that understanding to problems in electronics, energy storage, and other technology-driven industries. Laboratory work and thesis research often play a central role, giving students direct experience with material synthesis, testing equipment, and data analysis rather than relying purely on classroom instruction. Career paths for graduates include roles as materials engineers or research scientists in semiconductor manufacturing, battery and energy storage development, electronics production, and materials research institutes. Others move into quality engineering or process development roles where selecting and validating the right material for a product is a central responsibility. This program is hosted by Hanbat National University in Yuseong-gu, South Korea, with instruction delivered in English throughout. The degree runs for two years, and students can begin their studies in either March or September, depending on when they apply and are admitted. By pairing fundamental materials science with applied engineering practice, the program aims to prepare graduates who can move between research settings and industrial production environments where advanced materials are developed and deployed.
