This course will provide you with in-depth knowledge of the properties of both established and novel materials that are essential in modern engineered systems. You will study advanced topics such as the modelling of material behaviour, and develop the skills to design materials and surfaces from atoms to applications.The Industrial Placement Year is an additional year-long module that allows you to apply for a placement with an engineering-based organisation. The Industrial Placement Year will be taken between your second and third years, extending your degree to five years. During your year-long placement, you will fulfil the role of a trainee engineer on a full-time basis.We offer our students a dynamic learning environment; your course will include a combination of lectures, laboratory classes, tutorials, private study, and individual and group projects.
