About this course
MEng in Materials Science and Engineering MEng, a materials science and engineering degree focused on the properties, processing, and application of engineering materials. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students interact directly with industry and undertake a final-year project alongside leading research groups. The first year covers foundational concepts through Performance and Sustainability of Materials, Functional Materials and Applications, Thermodynamics and Mechanics of Materials, Biology and Chemistry of Materials, Mathematics for Materials Engineers, and Skills for Materials Engineers. The second year examines material behaviour and processing via Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Materials, Deformation and Failure of Materials, Industrial Materials Processing, Structure and Characterisation of Materials, Industrial Finance and Management, Functional and Energy Materials, and Advanced Skills for Materials Engineers. The third year builds advanced competence through Advanced Characterisation Methods and Industrial Training Programme 1. Optional modules in the later stages allow study in areas such as Advanced Functional and Ceramic Materials, Composite Materials and Micromechanics, Materials Modelling and Artificial Intelligence, Materials for Fission and Fusion Power, Nuclear Reactor Engineering, Atomistic and Mesoscale Modelling of Materials, Metallurgical Processing, Energy Generation and Storage, Design and Manufacture of Composites, Energy Systems and Management, and Functional Nano- and Bio-nanomaterials. The final year centres on core components including the Research Project and Literature Review, Professional Engineering Development, and the Advanced Industrial Training Project.
