Course summary
This programme will provide you with the expertise in advanced materials and engineering needed to design and innovate sustainable materials for today’s world. Materials is a discipline which underpins global industry, opening worldwide opportunities for a well-paid and rewarding career. From materials developed to increase the effectiveness of replacement joints to advances for a more fuel-efficient vehicle design, opportunities are endless. Our programmes have a long track record of delivering high-quality and research-led education. The development of new and improved materials is at the very heart of a range of technologies and you'll have the opportunity to explore and deepen your understanding of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of materials, their structure, properties, processing, in-service behaviour and environmental impact, at a more advanced level. On successful completion of the programme, you should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:
- the underlying principles and relationship between properties of materials and their composition and microstructure
- the synthesis and production of materials and the relationship between this and their subsequent properties
- the underpinning concepts and practical use of a range of characterisation techniques.
