The program aims to provide an opportunity for university graduates in physical science or engineering to obtain specialized knowledge in materials engineering and nanotechnology. It also provides an opportunity for applied scientists and engineers in industry to pursue in-depth studies in various aspects of materials engineering and nanotechnology.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Have extensive knowledge of and possess analytical ability in the field of materials engineering and nanotechnology.
- Have the ability to apply the knowledge of materials engineering and nanotechnology to generate creative technical solutions in the working environment.
- Capable of communicating effectively in materials related professions.
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data.
- Identify, formulate, solve engineering problems and generate new ideas in materials engineering and nanotechnology.
- Recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning.
1. General Entrance Requirements
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or an equivalent undergraduate qualification from a recognized university.
2. English Proficiency Requirements
Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution where the medium of instruction is not English must satisfy the following minimum English language proficiency requirement^:
- A score of 79 (for tests taken prior to 21 January 2026) or 4 (for tests taken from 21 January 2026 onwards) in the Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)@; or
- An overall band score of 6.0 in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)@; or
- Band 6 in the Chinese Mainland's College English Test (CET-6), with a score of 425 or above; or
- Other equivalent qualifications
@ TOEFL and IELTS scores are considered valid for two years. Applicants are required to provide their English test results obtained within the two years preceding the commencement of the University's application period, i.e. TOEFL and IELTS Tests taken on or after 30 September 2024 is acceptable for 2027 admissions. Only scores from single test attempts are accepted, and ‘TOEFL iBT Home Edition', ‘TOEFL MyBest Score’, ‘IELTS Indicator’, ‘IELTS One Skill Retake’ and ‘IELTS Online’ are not acceptable. Applicants are required to arrange with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to send their TOEFL results directly to the University. The TOEFL institution code for City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan) is D693.
^Applicants whose first language is English, or who have obtained a bachelor's degree (or equivalent qualification) from an institution where the medium of instruction is English, may be exempted from submitting an English language test score.
^ Individual departments and programmes may stipulate a higher EPR, or equivalent acceptable qualifications, as deemed appropriate for their academic requirements.

Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of materials under stress, become familiar with the various mechanisms by which material properties degrade due to environmental influences, and master the relevant scientific techniques for analyzing and testing materials. For specific application scenarios, they will be able to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as economic effects, functional requirements, environmental factors, manufacturability, and reliability, and select the most suitable materials with a thorough understanding. They will be capable of analyzing the decisive factors in the failure of engineering components and providing rational countermeasures for potential future risks. Additionally, they will master the skills required for designing and preparing new structures, innovative functions, and high-performance nanostructured materials.
