Materials Science and Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Materials Science is a synthesis of physics, chemistry, and engineering. It is the building block on which modern industry has and will continue to advance. This course provides a thorough grounding in the scientific principles governing the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of all solid materials, and the opportunity to specialise in the study of a particular class of material (metal, ceramic, or polymer) through a choice of options. The extensive (half year) final year project enables you to tackle a topic at the forefront of Materials Science in depth. It will develop further practical and analytical skills. Formal teaching in communication and transferable skills, including basic management and organisational behaviour, computing and presentation techniques, is given to complement the academic training. Lectures and tutorials are led staff who are all experts in their field with a deep knowledge of the subjects they teach and our staff are passionate about their subject. Our courses are constantly revised with inputs from both students and industry to cover the latest developments and deliver learning in the most effective way.
