Please notice 

Besides meeting the minimum requirements, you should also consider the following terms and conditions before submitting your application:

• To be successful in Materials Science studies at TUT, every student should have basic knowledge of engineering mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In addition, the basic materials science knowledge while entering our program should include good background at least in structure and properties of crystalline materials, phase transformations, and processing and structures of polymers. A good overview of the entry requirements can be acquired from, for example, William D. Callister: Materials Science and Engineering, an Introduction.

• The application documents will be evaluated as a whole, meaning that every document will affect the result. Remember that if some of the required documents are missing, it will have a negative effect on the result.We do not proceed applications if any of the required document is missing.
