Summary
Materials Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary field investigating the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. ME Materials Science and Engineering Programme assists manufacturing-based engineering by training students for work in industry sectors as diverse as biomedical, energy, electronic, automotive and aerospace. This programme will provide advanced engineering education in subject areas related to design and application of materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and semi-conductors. The core knowledge in this field is essential in currently evolving advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing (also known as 3D-Printing) and nanotechnology.
Graduates from this programme will be fully qualified professional engineers, capable of working anywhere in the world at an advanced technical level.
Focus on real-world materials used for the manufacture of advanced engineered components and systems such as biomedical implants.
Integrated theoretical, conceptual and practical knowledge.
Technical research project in collaboration with world leading research groups and researchers.
