PhD in Polymer Materials Engineering (International Track)
A research doctorate focused on polymer materials engineering delivered through an international collaboration. The track combines coursework taken at a partner US university with laboratory research carried out at Shenkar under joint supervision, and suits candidates aiming for advanced materials research or academic careers in polymers.
What you'll study
Students follow the partner university's theoretical course programme while performing experimental and laboratory research at Shenkar. Coursework is taken at UMass Lowell (as part of the described collaboration) and research projects use Shenkar's advanced departmental laboratories under shared supervision by staff from both institutions.
Entry requirements
The page notes prior recognition by UMass Lowell of Shenkar's bachelor curriculum as a condition for direct PhD admission; the track is built on mutual recognition and student exchange between the two departments. No additional formal admission criteria or numeric requirements are specified on the source text.
Career prospects
