About the Department

BAS Institute, E-JUST, offers for the time being Energy Materials program in Physics. This program is designed to prepare M.Sc. and Ph.D. students for their future career by equipping them with the main educational requirements of professional skills to the practice of Materials and Energy Resources field.

This will empower graduate students to function effectively in their initial appointment and provide a strong basis for future career development. This is to provide awareness of research in materials science and to encourage the development of inventiveness while searching for scientific solutions to technical problems. The program plans to develop researchers who can provide fundamental inputs require meeting the challenges of the energy sector.

The core courses will provide a background of analytical and laboratory techniques, as well as courses related to understanding energy systems. The program will meet the future needs for skills researchers in the field of materials and energy. The research subjects are supplemented by several courses from different science and engineering programs.
