MSc
Summary
This MSc programme provides you with a rigorous training in the study of materials science, and how materials can be harnessed for industrial and scientific progress. You'll work on a project with one of our internationally respected research teams, gaining practical experience to boost your chosen career trajectory.
- Be taught by world-leading academics who have pioneered breakthroughs in materials science.
- Work in our state-of-the-art facilities, including testing and analysis labs.
- Accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).
**What you'll study:**
This course is interdisciplinary in nature and involves a combination of theoretical and practical approaches. You’ll explore the latest experimental techniques in engineering, examine the characteristics, structure and properties of materials in greater depth, and have the option to choose from modules covering manufacturing processes, nanotechnology and nanomedicine, nanocomposites, polymer synthesis, renewable energy and more.
Alongside your taught modules, you'll work on a research project throughout the academic year, within one of our materials-based research groups. Your research project could be focused in the fields of ceramics, polymers, composites, elastomers, functional materials or manufacturing technologies.
You will also gain practical experience in our world-class processing facilities, such as the NanoVision Centre for Advanced Microscopy, which contains equipment for high-resolution imaging, and structural, chemical and mechanical analysis.
Our MSc in Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has been accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | An undergraduate degree (minimum good second class honours or equivalent) in Materials, Engineering, or equivalent. Each application is individually assessed; you are recommended to contact us for guidance in specific cases. IELTS 6.5 is required. |

Summary
Technological advances, as well as methodological issues, have contributed to the transformation of materials and their functions. A number of challenges lie ahead, as manufacturing supply chains become global, involving companies in strategic alliances and partnerships. Materials research is of great use here, as competition can only be achieved through the development of innovative approaches to the design, development and manufacture of novel materials and their characterisation.
This long established programme provides rigorous training in both theoretical and applied research for those who wish to pursue their career as a professional materials scientist.
A substantial component of the programme is the research project. The research project is undertaken alongside taught modules throughout the academic year, and will be based within one of the materials-based research groups of the School of Engineering and Materials Science. The research project may be focused in the fields of ceramics, polymers, composites, elastomers, functional materials or manufacturing technologies.
This programme will: Build on your engineering background to gain an advanced, yet broad knowledge in materials science, with the freedom to specialise through a research project.
Provide an insight into areas of manufacturing, planning and control systems, knowledge based systems and measurements and manufacturing systems. The course is interdisciplinary in nature and involves a combination of theoretical and practical approaches.
