The MSc Advanced Materials Engineering programme cultivates a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamental aspects of material engineering within its graduates by exploring various aspects of the discipline such as:
materials science
industrial metallurgy
composites
advanced materials
Our students benefit from the strategic partnership we hold with the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland and the Advanced Forming Research Centre. This relationship offers students prolonged exposure to leading research across materials engineering through sponsored research projects, site visits, guest lectures and other employability-led initiatives.
During their programme, students will study a number of compulsory and technical modules, as well as develop professional skills across topics such as design management, sustainability and financial engineering.
Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline or physical sciences, or equivalent professional qualification. A lower class degree may be considered with relevant work experience.

The application of material engineering can be found across a range of sectors and industries and therefore, material engineer graduates have a broad range of career paths open to them.
We work closely with the University Careers Service which offers advice and guidance on career planning and looking for and applying for jobs. In addition, they administer and publicise graduate and work experience opportunities.
