Choosing the correct materials is crucial to the success or failure of an engineering project. On this 4-year, integrated master's, you'll explore the properties and uses of common and new mechanical engineering materials. You'll develop the skills to design materials and surfaces, from the atomic level up to their application. This advanced course will help you find a rewarding career as a Chartered Engineer.

This course focuses on mechanics, structures and materials, and how they are managed. It will inspire you to use your knowledge and skills to address real mechanical and material engineering needs in society, in areas like:

• transport
• housing
• recreation
• food processing
• medicine

You'll explore material use, including their design and manufacture, and you'll study how they behave throughout their service.

Roles you'll be suited for include:

• metallurgist
• product development scientist
• materials engineer
• mechanical engineer
• automotive engineer
• control and instrumentation engineer
• nuclear engineer
