Advanced Materials can be studied full time or part time.
The MSc Advanced Materials is for you if you are a scientist looking to further develop your skills and knowledge in the field of advanced materials. It will support your current career development if you are already working in this area or it will enhance your prospects if you are preparing to begin a career in the sector.
You will be working with modern and advanced materials and have the opportunity to extend your understanding of the methodologies and applications used in high technology and science-based industries. You will use your already extensive understanding of the properties and behaviour of materials in order to envisage and devise novel applications in response to technological problems and shortcomings.
This is a unique and flexible course in which you may choose to specialise in a particular area of advanced materials. Alternatively, you may study a combination of modules from any of the five pathways, which will result in a non-specific award of MSc in Advanced Materials.
You will be based at the University of Bolton’s Institute for Materials Research and Innovation (IMRI), a multidisciplinary centre in which research and innovation is carried out in collaboration with industry and other academic institutions.
The centre is the leader in the UK – and is known internationally – for its research and applications development in the field of applied materials science and engineering. Developments carried out within IMRI include new, designer and novel smart and multifunctional materials in fibres, films, foams and particles, at nano and micro levels, as well as associated processing technologies that have the potential for development to compete in the global marketplace.
Special features
The course is very flexible in terms of your options for study as you can choose a particular pathway which leads to a specific qualification or you may choose a combination of modules from any of the five pathways which will lead to a non-specific award of MSc in Advanced Materials.
Teaching for each module is delivered as a short-course that will last no more than ten days. The rest of your study is very flexible and may be carried out away from the University.
Class sizes are small which means you will be able to work closely with your fellow students and your tutor.
Your subject of study and your personal project means you have the opportunity to work in an area that is of personal interest or that is related to your career.
If you choose to progress to doctorate-level studies at the University after graduation from the MSc you will only be required to pay for two years of your PhD.
