The foundation year gives you a grounding in maths, science and engineering topics. Complete it to the required standard and you’re guaranteed a place on a degree course. Sheffield’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering is among the UK’s top five for research output (Research Excellence Framework 2014). Our teaching staff are leading researchers who work closely with some of the biggest names in industry. And our facilities are first-rate. As a student here, you’ll learn from real-world case studies and work on projects – in industry and in the department.
