Materials Science and Engineering

An undergraduate materials science and engineering degree allows students to explore the structure, properties, and performance of materials, and how these can be engineered to meet the needs of modern technology and industry. It provides a strong foundation in science and engineering principles while offering opportunities to specialise in areas such as nanomaterials, biomaterials, polymers, ceramics, and metallurgy.

The programme offers the opportunity to study core subjects including materials characterisation, thermodynamics, phase transformations, mechanical behaviour of materials, and materials processing. Students also gain practical experience through laboratory testing, computer simulations, research projects, and industry placements, developing the skills to design, test, and optimise materials for specific applications.

Why study Undegraduate Degree in Materials Science and Engineering?

Studying materials science and engineering at undergraduate level is a chance to combine scientific understanding with engineering innovation, preparing graduates to contribute to sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, and healthcare. Career opportunities include roles in research and development, product design, manufacturing, and quality assurance, with the option to progress to postgraduate study or professional engineering accreditation.
