Master of Science - Advanced Materials Science and Engineering

Loughborough University's Master of Science in Material Science and Engineering programme will provide students with the expertise in advanced materials and engineering needed to design and innovate sustainable materials for today’s world.

Materials is a discipline which underpins global industry, opening worldwide opportunities for a well-paid and rewarding career. From materials developed to increase the effectiveness of replacement joints to advances for a more fuel-efficient vehicle design, opportunities are endless.

On successful completion of the programme, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: • the underlying principles and relationship between properties of materials and their composition and microstructure. • the synthesis and production of materials and the relationship between this and their subsequent properties. • the underpinning concepts and practical use of a range of characterization techniques.
