Materials with Management

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

In the first two years, the course content is the same for all the materials courses. The final years include a common section taken together with a very wide range of optional modules.

You will be able to choose specialist options in materials production and processing, structural materials, and electrical materials.

To progress to the next academic year, you must achieve a mark of at least 40% in each element of the previous academic year.

Your first year consists of six core modules:

• Materials Chemistry and Biology
• Materials Engineering
• Materials Physics
• Mathematics and Computing
• Mechanical Behaviour
• Microstructure and Properties of Materials

In your second year you will continue to follow a pathway of six core modules.

As the course advances you perform more individual and group project work. These involve literature searches, exploration of new ideas and concepts and writing technical reports.

• Electronic Properties of Materials
• Materials Chemistry and Polymer Sciences
• Materials Engineering 2
• Mathematics and Computing
• Mechanical Behaviour
• Microstructure

You will choose three optional modules on top of the four core modules.

The third year focuses on the management aspect of the course, with Entrepreneurship and Managing Innovation modules delivered by Imperial College Business School.

• Entrepreneurship Business Plan Competition
• Integrated Materials Engineering
• Managing Innovation
• Materials Characterisation

• Biomaterials
• Ceramics and Glass
• Electronic Structures & Opto Electronic Properties
• Engineering Alloys
