Materials Science and Engineering BEng (Hons)

From aerospace and communications, to TV screens and consumer goods. The research and development of materials is at the forefront of modern technology and engineering.This multi-disciplinary materials science course covers a broad spectrum of topics, combining teaching from across our Schools of Chemical and Process Engineering, Physics and Chemistry. You will acquire a thorough grounding in the concepts that underpin materials science, together with learning a range of transferable skills to equip you for a career in this fast-moving field.You will gain a view of the fundamental structure and properties of materials, and how processing can be used to enhance functionality. Specialised modules in subjects such as photonic materials and nanomaterials will build upon this underpinning knowledge. You’ll also take part in project work, where you’ll learn to research, investigate and design new materials – equipping you with the professional skills you’ll need in your future career.
