This programme is designed for applicants who have studied materials science or materials engineering as part of an undergraduate degree in science or engineering and want to pursue their studies of materials-related topics to a higher level. It is essentially a conversion course, and is especially appropriate if you have a degree in physics, chemistry or related science subjects, or in chemical engineering.
The one-year programme includes a major research project in the form of a dissertation and taught modules.
The two-year programme is designed for candidates (especially from overseas) who require extra English tuition, or who need further training in certain other key background skills. You take a preparatory year comprising English language and other relevant introductory modules including engineering modules. You then continue into the second year and take the one-year version of the programme as described above.
