Metallurgy and Materials Engineering
The Metallurgy and Materials Engineering (English) program at Marmara University is a four-year undergraduate degree taught fully in English. This program aims to teach students how materials — metals, polymers, ceramics and composites — behave, how to design new materials, and how to test and use them in engineering projects. Students learn core science and engineering courses, as well as material science, thermodynamics, mechanics of materials and material processing techniques. Through theory, labs, and practical work, students gain knowledge to understand material properties and to produce and test materials for many uses — from construction and manufacturing to high-tech industry.
Located in Istanbul, a city with many industries and growing technological demand, this program offers students chances to connect their studies with real-world manufacturing, research or industrial companies. With modern laboratories, experienced academic staff and English-medium instruction, students are prepared for work both in Turkey and internationally. The program supports analytical thinking, problem-solving and material innovation skills — ideal for those who are curious about how things are made and why materials work the way they do.
