Program Description

In this core undergraduate degree, students will discover the underlying principles of materials science and their applications across materials engineering situations. Students can keep their course general or tailor their degrees in later years with optional materials modules.

As well as lectures and tutorials, students will learn through experiencing real-world engineering situations with extensive practical work in important manufacturing processes and using the latest investigative equipment. Students also have the opportunity to interact with industry and gain valuable experience of the workplace. 

It is possible to switch between the BEng and MEng (based on performance on the exams in the course) at the end of the second year.

This course is fully accredited by the IOM3, meaning it counts towards later professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
