Digital Manufacturing of Advanced Materials MSc

UCL (University College London)

The Digital Manufacturing of Advanced Materials MSc will equip you with interdisciplinary skills highly sought after by industry and academia. You will gain the abilities needed to develop and produce advanced materials such as new drug molecules and pharmaceuticals, materials for energy generation and storage, catalysts facilitating sustainable processes, functional nanomaterials for precious metal recovery or biomedical applications, and more. The fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, is transforming chemical and process research laboratories as well as manufacturing sites, where smart technologies and digitisation are radically changing the way new chemicals and materials are developed and produced. Automated processes and robotic systems allow for operator-free experimentation and material development and optimisation empowered by computational tools such as machine learning. In this new paradigm-shifting scenario, R&D must go far beyond the traditional, and labour-intensive, manual experimentation and analysis. The new industrial demands require the materials engineers of the future to take a holistic digital approach, combining up-to-date synthetic and analytic procedures, automation, data science, and a variety of computational tools. The MSc in Digital Manufacturing of Advanced Materials (DMAM) was co-developed with our industrial partners to meet these requirements and to equip the next generation of engineers and scientists with the interdisciplinary skills needed.
