These programmes provide a thorough grounding in the physical and chemical structure of materials, the properties of materials, manufacturing processes and design. Academically, the programmes are a bridge between the pure and applied sciences, while vocationally they constitute a training which embraces the variety of skills in demand throughout industry and business.
These programmes cover all materials: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. This is essential if you wish to work in multi-disciplinary engineering sectors such as automotive or aerospace manufacture, where optimisation of materiaselection is critical. |
