Course info
There is an ever-increasing demand in industry for graduates with interdisciplinary expertise in the science and engineering aspects of materials. Consequently, this programme has been developed for graduates from almost any of the other physical science or engineering disciplines to convert to Materials Science and Engineering. Successful candidates will acquire a good knowledge of the microstructure property relationships of structural and functional materials and of the methods available for testing, examining and characterising these materials. Programme Structure - the programme consists of a taught component and a major research-based project. The taught component is organised in two 12-week semesters with examinations at the end of each semester. The taught part of the programme is assessed in January and May and represents 120 credits from a total of 180. The remaining 60 credits are allocated to the project.
