Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field which is based on the correlation between the materials microstructure and their properties and processing.  From an engineering perspective, we design the material’s microstructure to hold certain properties. Recently there is a focus on materials with a microstructure on the nanometer length-scale. Thus, materials scientists and engineers design materials as well as manufacturing processes for the microelectronics industry, develop advanced metals and alloys, polymers and plastics, modern ceramic materials, composites, materials for batteries, fuel cells and photovoltaics, and methods and materials to prevent corrosion. The research programs will develop cutting edge research in the fields of electronic materials, materials physics, nano-magnetism and spintronic materials, materials for energy applications, structural materials and their characterization by quantum beams, polymers and soft materials.

English Proficiency Test

Since the academic program at GTIIT is taught in English, applicants are required to demonstrate their English proficiency before they enroll. Applicants from high schools where English is not the primary language of instruction are required to submit official copies of their scores on the TOEFL, IELTS, the SAT Reasoning, or ACT Plus Writing Test.

Required Scores on English Proficiency Tests

Candidates applying from the USA or from high schools taught according to the American system, must take a standardized test (SAT or ACT) before applying. GTIIT has minimum test score requirements for the math section as detailed below. Those who take tests in other subjects may send their results in as well.

Required Scores on Standardized Tests

Your application must include the following documents:

•  Completed Application Form including a passport sized photo

•  Health Declaration Form

•  Secondary school diploma and transcripts covering three years (students should have a strong background in math/science. A background in Physics is mandatory)

•  Two teacher recommendation letters*

•  Standardized test (SAT or ACT or AST) according to the student’s country of origin

•  Resume/CV

•  Personal statement

•  Students who are non-native English speakers must also submit English proficiency test scores, either TOEFL or IELTS (see below for required minimum and recommended score)

•  $100 (USD) non-refundable application fee

* An original copy must be sent to the Admissions Office directly from the evaluator. At least one letter should be from a mathematics or science teacher.
