This programme is aimed at students with a primary degree in engineering or cognate physical science who wish to develop a career or engage with further studies in materials science and engineering. We value and therefore encourage students to be engaged, autonomous learners who have a critical and problem-solving approach to materials as they are used in both common and advanced engineering applications. Of key importance within the learning experience is the ability of the student to work individually or within teams and to communicate their ideas and outcomes effectively. Students should also not lose sight of the ethical, environmental or human perspectives within which they work. We aim to provide a stimulating learning environment with a wide-ranging and relevant taught curriculum that is underpinned by a hands-on laboratory experience that will encourage students to develop a deep understanding of structure-property relationships in materials. A variety of teaching, learning and assessment strategies are used to achieve the desired outcomes including individual and team assignments, technical presentations and a significant supervised research project. These are subject to assessment on both a continuous and end-of-semester basis.
T286 MEngSc Materials Science and Engineering FT is a 1-year 90-credit full-time Masters Programme. The normal Trimester workload is 30 credits per Trimester. The Autumn and Spring Trimesters comprise Core and Option Modules and students undertake the Project in the Summer Trimester.
Note : Where any of the Core Modules have been previously taken, e.g. during BE study, these must be substituted for an additional Option Module. Students must speak to the Programme Director before choosing their modules. A minimum of 70 of the 90 credits taken during the MEngSc Programme must be at Level 4 or above.
