You'll assess how technological advances relating to materials are helping transform our lives, from the clothes we wear through to emerging, life-...
Read more chasing technologies.
You'll investigate how the motivation to invent or improve materials can solve problems in areas including healthcare and transport.
You'll also consider the latest innovations in fields such as biomedical engineering, robotics and quantum computing.
This course will help you engage with both the scientific and engineering aspects of the discipline as you learn about the processing and performance of materials.
Experimental work in a laboratory setting is designed to help you build practical experience of key materials research techniques.
This includes the opportunity to design your own experiments and carry out investigations using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
You'll then start to specialise across a series of optional modules during your third and fourth years.
Your final year will see your studies reach Master's level, with your work culminating in an individual research project.
This work can be carried out externally or with a laboratory overseas as you build your research expertise alongside world-leading academics and researchers. Read less
