Advanced Engineering Materials

The world is witnessing significant technological advancements, such as the rise of renewable energy, the growth of electric vehicles, and the need for biocompatible medical materials. Each of these areas requires specialised expertise in materials engineering to develop solutions that can meet the diverse challenges faced by industries and society. Our dedicated MSc Advanced Engineering Materials will serve to fulfil the demand for professionals with a deep understanding of advanced materials' design, development and application. Advanced materials engineering offers potential solutions in areas such as lightweight materials for energy-efficient transportation, materials for clean energy generation, sustainable construction materials, and biocompatible materials for medical implants. Graduates from this programme will be uniquely positioned to address these challenges and drive advancements towards a more sustainable and resilient future.The implementation of this course can have a positive economic impact on the region. As industries continue to invest in research and development of advanced materials, there is a growing need for a skilled workforce to drive innovation, enhance product development, and improve manufacturing processes. Graduates will be sought after by both established industries and emerging startups, contributing to economic growth and development. The MSc Advanced Engineering Materials has been designed to complement the underpinning academic base for graduates to register towards Chartered Engineer status in line with the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) by the Engineering Council for professional registration (2020). The programme also provides a continuous ladder of opportunity, particularly for students and industrialists already in employment.
