Course Summary

Our Materials Engineering programme will give you a strong grounding in the physical and chemical structure, properties, manufacturing and design of materials. You’ll learn about all materials; metals, ceramics, polymers and composites, gaining essential knowledge for future careers in a range of sectors, including automotive or aerospace manufacture. You’ll build a strong foundation in fundamental engineering concepts such as fluid mechanics, design, materials and mathematical modelling, whilst being introduced to Materials Engineering through our ‘Explore Materials’ module. Modules in design and experimental practice, will help you to develop the practical workshop and laboratory-based skills necessary for all engineers, and put core programme material into perspective and to practical use. Our specialised second year modules have been designed to help you focus on developing an understanding of the relationships between the structure and composition of materials and their properties, and the broad range of applications for different materials. The third-year design project will provide you an opportunity to use your skills and knowledge to address topics associated with the four Grand Challenges for the future as identified by the UK Government - artificial Intelligence and data, ageing society, clean growth and the future of mobility. For example, with projects tackling issues ranging from the development of bespoke devices for personalised healthcare to the use of sustainable energy to create the next generation of transportation systems. Students who choose to take the MEng degree will carry out an industry or research-linked project that focuses on solving real engineering research and design problems.
