A Masters course providing the foundation for 21st century technologies - from fuel cells to aeroengines
The complete masters (MSc) course in Advanced Engineering Materials provides you with an in-depth understanding of the key factors that govern the design and selection of materials for use in advanced engineering applications, as well as their processing, properties and stability.
You can choose to study for a postgraduate qualification ( MSc, PG Diploma, PG Certificate ) or you can choose individual units as part of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Additionally, you can choose to build up the individual units to lead to a postgraduate qualification.
You can complete the programme in the following formats:
- Campus-based - Full-time and Part-time format
- Online Distance-learning (Part-time)
Course aims - to convey detailed knowledge of current, state of the art materials systems, with a focus on composites, advanced alloys and functional and engineering ceramics
- to explore the technologies used in the manufacture and processing of advanced materials
- to provide an understanding of the relationships between composition, microstructure, processing and performance
- to explore how materials perform in service and survive in hostile conditions
- to train students in the essential skills needed to select and design the next generation of high performance engineering materials
- to provide a sure foundation for a future career in industry or research.
Module details The taught units cover the structure and design of advanced engineering materials and provide graduates with an increased depth and breadth of knowledge of materials science, technology and engineering.
Taught units include:
- Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering
- Industrial Processing of Materials
- Composite Materials
- Materials Performance - Life Cycle Design (option)
- Advanced Analytical Techniques (option)
- Engineering Design and Communication
- High Performance Alloys (option)
- Funtional and Engineering Ceramics (option)

Academic entry qualification:
MSc qualification:
You will need a UK 2.2 Honours degree in a Science, Engineering or Technology field, or equivalent International degree.
If you do not meet the minimum requirements and / or have a mix of other postgraduate or professional qualifications and relevant work experience, then your application will be considered for the progressive entry route, which means that you will be registered for the Certificate or Diploma level and you will be assessed at the end of each level before you progress to the next stage.
English language requirements:
If English is not your first language, you will need to take and meet minimum requirements for the following recognised English language qualifications: IELTS (6.5 with no sub-test under 5.5); TOEFL (570 with 5.0 in TWE); CBTOEFL (230 with 5.0 in TWE).
| Minimal degree required: | Bachelor's degree |
| Minimal amount of work experience | Not specified |
