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.
