The discovery, development and application of advanced materials is at the heart of engineering innovation. Informed by our close research collaborations with industry we are developing the next generation of talented materials scientists and engineers. With a fundamental interest in materials science, the MSc in Advanced Materials course will develop your understanding of materials’ properties, selection, processing and advanced design procedures.

Why this course?

Cranfield University has an enviable track record in the development and application of advanced materials and their associated processing and manufacturing technologies. This spans from our surface engineering coatings used to increase the operating temperature of gas turbine engines to the development of composite material structures for application in some of the world’s most exotic super cars. Our research and commercial work with industry shape our taught programmes (lectures and projects), where our academic teams are leading in their fields.

This course equips students with the knowledge and skills to solve a wide range of engineering challenges. The progressive subject of additive manufacturing is introduced and investigated in the Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies module. The quest for stronger, lighter, more durable materials is discussed in the Composite Manufacturing, Materials Selection and the Failure of Materials modules. Our ability to modify materials to function in aggressive environments is presented in the Surface Science and Engineering module and the Introduction to Materials Engineering module.
