MSc
Summary
This course provides in-depth understanding of the nature, properties and manufacturing of a broad range of advanced materials, including materials for fuel cells and electrolysers, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, green hydrogen and energy storage, composite materials for transport and wind energy, biomaterials for healthcare, advanced electronic materials, and digital and additive manufacturing of materials.
The modules are designed to cover recent materials developments for a more electrified, digital, sustainable and net-zero world. You will study the core principals of advanced materials, undertake an original research project and have access to our state-of-the-art research facilities and expertise.
The course is designed to provide theoretical knowledge and practical and transferable skills for global career opportunities in a wide range of sectors including energy, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, electronics and biomedical industries, as well as preparing you for further study.
We offer a good degree of flexibility by combining compulsory modules with a range of electives – this means you can create a programme of study that reflects your individual interests and career aspirations.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | 2:1 (or international equivalent) in a relevant subject, usually engineering and materials, chemistry or physics. English language requirements: IELTS: 6.5 (with no less than 6.0 in any element). |
| Location | University Park Campus University of Nottingham Nottingham NG7 2RJ |

Summary
This course provides a deep understanding of the processing, nature and properties of a broad range of engineering materials. Only by understanding these can materials be truly designed for purpose. The course seeks to integrate materials behaviour and materials processing relevant to a wide range of industrial sectors, providing students with specific skills suitable for a wide range of careers in UK and international organisations involved in materials and product development. It also provides a firm foundation for a research path in Materials Engineering.
You will study the core principals of advanced materials over two semesters, alongside modules in materials categorisation and the mechanisms of failure of materials. This will provide you with a depth of knowledge and skills allowing you to make informed choices concerning applications, selection and design of advanced materials. Our teaching aims to produce graduates able to think and function in an integrated manner across all areas of materials engineering.
We offer a good degree of flexibility by combining compulsory modules with a range of electives – this means you can create a programme of study that reflects your individual interests, such as sustainability or knowledge management.
