The aim of this program is to educate the highest-level graduates to develop scientific and technological research to make original contributions to knowledge and new technology in the Material Science field. This PhD program has a select number of researchers and state-of-the-art experimental equipment to materials characterization and analysis lab, such as: transmission electron microscopy, XPS and X-ray diffraction, among others. Results of this labs productive work have reached national and international recognition.

In addition, this program takes part in the "National Network of PhD in Material Sciences", which is also part of University of Santiago and Pontificia Universidad Católica. Its development has built links which permit to strengthen student’s training and their research development, due to more offered programs, labs and advanced seminars, and facilitating access to other techniques and equipment available in this network.

Graduates from this program are able to hold leadership positions, as a highly qualified expert, in Productive Sectors and Research and Development Centers, for public and private sectors, and also as high-level Academics, working in the country or abroad.
