Studying materials abroad

Materials engineering offers international students the chance to drive innovation across industries by mastering the science and design of advanced materials.

Materials Engineering as an academic field focuses on the study and manipulation of materials. This involves understanding the structure, properties, and behaviour of materials, as well as their processing and manufacturing techniques.

Materials engineers work with a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. Their expertise is essential in developing new materials for various applications and improving existing ones.

Materials engineering is a critical field that impacts various industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, healthcare, and renewable energy.

As technology continues to advance, the demand for skilled materials engineers will remain high, making it an exciting and rewarding career choice for those passionate about innovation and problem-solving.

Graduates of a degree in Materials Engineering will have diverse career opportunities available to them. These may include roles as materials engineer, research and development scientist, process engineer, quality control specialist, manufacturing engineer, and product development engineer.

Your degree program will be delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, and laboratory sessions. Depending on your course, you may also have the chance to undertake internships or industrial placements to gain practical experience. Modules you will study could include:

  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Materials Characterization Techniques
  • Mechanical Behavior of Materials
  • Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Materials
  • Polymer Science and Engineering

Graduates of a master's degree in Materials Engineering will have advanced career opportunities available to them. These may include roles as materials research scientist, materials consultant, materials project manager, nanomaterials engineer, and semiconductor process engineer.

Your master's degree program will consist of lectures, seminars, and hands-on laboratory sessions. Depending on your chosen specialisation, you may study modules like:

  • Advanced Materials Design
  • Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology
  • Advanced Composite Materials
  • Surface Engineering and Coatings
