The MSc Engineering Materials is a one-year master’s degree. The postgraduate course covers the latest techniques and methods in this dynamic advanced mechanical engineering science subject. Material properties, their limitations and engineering context are widely studied in this course. You will develop your knowledge of microstructural and surface characterisation and investigate the performance of structural materials in engineering applications. The PG Diploma and PG Certificate are exit points only and are not standalone qualifications. Assessment is conducted through a combination of written examinations and assessed coursework in the form of problem solving exercises, laboratory reports, design exercises, essays, and individual and group projects. Experimental, research and design skills are assessed through laboratory reports, coursework exercises and oral presentations.
