Course programme

Our programmes share a common first two years, with lectures, practicals and case studies developing your understanding in all areas of materials. These are related to applications such as aerospace, automotive, sports, IT and biomedicine. You’ll also study how to apply maths to solve engineering problems – a key requirement for many employers.

Year 3 (in Industry)

The industrial experience takes the form of an entire year in industry between year 2 and year 3. The students are helped by the University to find suitable internships, and assisted and mentored by academic members of staff throughout their year in industry.

Tuition fees for placement years (where applicable)

There is a reduced tuition fee for the academic year spent in industry or whilst studying abroad (where available). Fee information and further clarification is available on the University fees and funding page.

Year 4

The third and fourth years advance your understanding of design, processing, failure and applications, along with management, whilst options allowing you to gain specialist materials knowledge in areas that interest you most, such as aerospace, sports and biomaterials. You also take part in a multidisciplinary project.
