The Graduate Programme in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology holds a score of 4 in the CAPES classification. It encompasses Master's and Doctoral courses, promoting interaction between Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and other fields that require highly technological and complex materials, such as biomaterials or materials for applications in electronics and photonics. The courses focus on the area of Materials Technology and Development, with an approach centred on research that investigates the correlation between the structure and properties of materials, as well as their processing at scales ranging from macroscopic to nanometric.

The essence of the Master's and Doctoral courses in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology is to strongly stimulate in students the investigative nature inherent to scientific research, advancing pari passu with technological development and the demands of industry for new uses of existing materials. In this regard, the PPGEMN stands out for its highly qualified faculty, available infrastructure, and the technological tools offered to students, enabling their full engagement in solving problems in industry, academia/research, and the global market.
