From aerospace and communications, to TV screens and consumer goods. The research and development of materials is at the forefront of modern technology and engineering. This multi-disciplinary materials science degree course covers a broad spectrum of topics, combining teaching from across our Schools of Chemical and Process Engineering, Physics and Chemistry.
On our Materials Science and Engineering degree, you will acquire a thorough grounding in the concepts that underpin materials science, together with learning a range of transferable skills to equip you for a career in this fast-moving field.
Course highlights
Gain a view of the fundamental structure and properties of materials, and how processing can be used to enhance functionality.
Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research. You’ll interact with academic staff who are members of the Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials and the Bragg Centre for Materials Research, giving you the opportunity to develop professional relationships with researchers at the forefront of the industry.
During your project work you will access specialist facilities and laboratories – and learn to research, investigate and design new materials – equipping you with the professional skills you’ll need in your future career.
Our theoretical modules are supported by extensive practical sessions in the laboratory, allowing you to perform experiments that reinforce the material taught to you in the lectures.
Small tutorial groups are used to support the teaching, so you get regular feedback from the academic staff helping you solve any problems that you might have with a particular topic.
