MSc
Summary
This master's course provides you with an in-depth understanding of the key factors that govern the design and selection of materials for use in advanced engineering applications, as well as their processing, properties and stability.
Focusing on composites, advanced alloys and engineering ceramics, you will explore the technologies used in the manufacturing and processing of advanced materials and develop an understanding of the relationships between composition, microstructure, processing and performance.
You will learn how to assess materials performance inservice and develop an understanding of the processes of degradation in hostile conditions. You will also be trained in the essential skills needed to design and develop the next generation of high performance engineering materials, establishing a strong foundation for a future career in industry or research.
This course is aimed at students who have a strong materials background who want to gain more specialised knowledge of the principles, structure, processing and design of advanced engineering materials. However, it is suitable also for graduates from other engineering and science backgrounds who wish to specialise in materials engineering.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | The standard entry requirement for this course is a UK 2.2 Honours degree or overseas equivalent in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Metallurgical Engineering, Biomaterials or a related subject. A first degree in Chemistry with a 2.1 classification is also accepted. Other backgrounds may also be considered, such as Mathematics.
