Modern Materials Design and Application (MMDA) is a master's degree program in Materials Engineering at AGH University of Krakow, taught in English in Kraków, Poland, over three semesters (one and a half years, including the writing of the master's thesis), with annual tuition of 4,600 EUR. The program is aimed at graduate students who already have a general background in materials science, spanning materials physics, chemistry, and engineering. Its coursework builds proficiency in advanced materials and processing technologies through lectures, seminars, projects, and laboratory classes centered on designing processes and materials. Students apply modern synthesis and processing techniques including plastic working, heat treatment, and powder metallurgy, along with other advanced technologies used in modern materials science. Classes are aimed at building a deeper understanding of the relationship between structure, properties, performance, and application, giving students the expertise to evaluate, design, improve, and fabricate materials based on non-ferrous metals and alloys. The curriculum also includes courses that develop communication and presentation skills, entrepreneurial initiative, teamwork, and leadership, alongside broader socio-economic competencies. Applicants must have completed a first-cycle (Bachelor's) degree, and English proficiency at least at the B2 level is required, documented through an English certificate or diploma supplement; this requirement can also be met through other accepted means. Modern Materials Design and Application prepares graduates for roles such as materials design engineer, process development specialist, or research associate within non-ferrous metals, alloys, and advanced manufacturing industries, as well as for further doctoral research in materials science.

AGH University of Krakow is one of the best and most renowned modern Polish universities, consistently ranking high among Polish technical universities. For years, it has been a leader in innovation and a key partner for international research and industry.
