Overview

The development of new and improved materials is at the heart of a huge range of technologies. These can be from the objects we use every day such as food packaging, novel batteries and fuel cells, power electric vehicles and more advanced materials for biomedical applications, such as implants.

Our Materials Science and Engineering degree will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of materials, their structure, properties, processing, in-service behaviour and environmental impact.

At 含羞草视频, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering of materials to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures. You will be taught by world-leading academics whose influence extends outside of the lecture theatre. In year three, you will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff and potentially in collaboration with an industrial partner.

Our degree will prepare you for careers in a wide range of sectors. These include aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and sustainability, consumer goods, sports, and defence. Our graduates go on to work in large and small companies in the UK and internationally. Some remain in the higher education sector to continue their research into Materials Engineering.

What's the difference between MEng and BEng?

The first two years of a BEng or MEng share the same content, format and structure, with a good mix of theory, application and practical content from day one. The MEng differs from the BEng course in the third and fourth years by offering the opportunity to study technical and management topics at a more advanced level. It is possible to transfer from a BEng to an MEng from the start of the course up to the end of the second year, providing that the transfer progression criteria have been met.

How you'll be assessed

Students are assessed by a mixture of coursework and written examinations.

This will vary from module to module, but overall the approximate ratio is 60/40 Exams/Coursework. Modules containing design-orientated work, individual and group projects are also assessed by oral presentation and in some cases poster presentation.

Placement year

This course includes the option to complete a paid year working in industry. Our close links with industrial partners enable us to provide our students with considerable help in sourcing and securing their placement.

Placements are an excellent opportunity to gain real-world experience and apply the knowledge from your degree in practice. Many of our students return with a much better understanding of the wider context of the modules they have studied and generally perform better in their final year(s) of study.

In addition, the placement year will allow students to ‘test drive’ an industrial sector. It will give students insight into what they can expect from a graduate position before having to commit to a longer-term career. Placements are a great stepping-stone into a permanent job. We see many of our students return to their placement employer as a graduate because they have demonstrated their worth to the organisation.

Please note that whilst the Department offers great support for students to find a placement, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to source and secure their industrial placement.

Additional award

By undertaking a year on professional placement or working in industry, you will gain an additional award alongside your final qualification. If you undertake a professional placement year you will gain a Diploma in Professional Studies (DPS) or if you complete a year in industry you will gain a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS).

Featured placement year companies

Apple, BAE Systems, BMW, Bosch, Caterpillar, CERN, Cummins, GlaxoSmithKline, Jaguar Land Rover, Pirelli Tyres, and Tata Steel.

Materials: Rolls-Royce

Adam gives an insight into his time as an industrial placement student with Rolls-Royce Plc, alongside Ajay a graduate now employed as Repair Global CA Lead at Rolls Royce Plc.

Study abroad

If you are interested in travelling whilst you study, there are options to study overseas with our partner universities. By choosing this course you'll have the option to take advantage of this exciting opportunity, giving you the chance to not only experience new cultures and visit exciting destinations, but also to expand your learning experience. The length of a study abroad placement would be confirmed by your School or Department.
