Welcome remark

Material Science and Engineering, the foundational knowledge for the renovation of the future technology

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering(MSE) at POSTECH was established as the Department of Materials & Metallugical in December 1986 with the opening of the university.
The founding tenet of POSTECH states “Pohang University of Science and Technology not only focuses on advanced research in diverse fields of basic science and engineering by cooperating closely with world-leading universities, but also strives to develop itself as a global hub for research related to the materials sector.” Along with the founding tenet, we, as a fundamental department of POSTECH which aims to contribute to humanity by leading the future of science and engineering, have become a world-class department in the field of materials by realizing excellence in education and research.
The name was changed to the Department of Materials Science & Engineering in June 2001 reflecting the development of not only materials but also related fields such as new material development, next-generation energy source research, and biomaterial research.
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering(MSE) which leads innovation by developing new substances and materials that are the core of future technologies change the world establishing ourselves as a leading player in the field of science and industry. Currently, about 30 undergraduate and 50 graduate students receive their degrees annually.
