What you will study

Year 3 covers materials discovery (ceramics, glasses, polymers, metals), matter sciences (thermodynamics, organic and inorganic chemistry, structure of matter), solid physics, phase diagrams, continuum mechanics, structural and chemical analysis methods, plus mathematics, computing and English. Year 4 covers materials and eco-design, material behaviour (rheology, composites, non-linear behaviour, viscoelasticity), finite element methods, statistics and design of experiments, materials and energy. Year 5 includes electives such as bio-based polymers, packaging, durability, composites and laminates, thin films, concrete, and a final-year project and a 30-credit internship.
