Advanced materials engineering offers potential solutions in areas such as lightweight materials for energy-efficient transportation, materials for clean energy generation, sustainable construction materials, and biocompatible materials for medical implants. Graduates from this programme will be uniquely positioned to address these challenges and drive advancements towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
The implementation of this course can have a positive economic impact on the region. As industries continue to invest in research and development of advanced materials, there is a growing need for a skilled workforce to drive innovation, enhance product development, and improve manufacturing processes. Graduates will be sought after by both established industries and emerging startups, contributing to economic growth and development.
If English is not your first language, you will also need an IELTS score of 6.5 or the equivalent.
Normal entry requirements to the programme are a 2:2 degree in an engineering or materials related subject.
Equivalent professional qualification or significant industrial and professional experience may be accepted as part of the admissions process. Minimum experience of 3 years in a manufacturing or materials technical role. You will be asked to evidence your technical academic writing at the equivalent of level 6 under the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
The MSc programme prepares graduates for careers in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, construction, and more. Graduates can work as materials engineers, research and development scientists, quality assurance professionals, and in various roles related to materials selection, design, processing, and testing. The predominant one recently has been composite and advanced materials industries applied in automotive, railway and aerospace fields. Opportunities exist within any industry where computational mechanics, materials and structural design, additive manufacturing, smart materials and composites are used.
There are also many non-engineering possibilities, where employers appreciate the intelligence, reasoning and mathematical ability, and logical and analytical approach for problem solving skills of Advanced Engineering Materials graduates, including research and development and project management.
The programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to address materials-related challenges and contribute to the development of innovative materials and technologies.
