Course Overview - Materials Science and Engineering Beng (Hon)
Ever wondered how an F1 car can weigh so little? Or what an artificial heart valve is made of? If so, this is the degree for you.
Look around you - everything you see is made from carefully designed materials. To build a better world, we need experts who can enhance these materials, making them stronger, more efficient, and less wasteful. As a materials scientist and engineer, you’ll drive innovation that shapes the future. Join us to learn how.

Ever wondered how an F1 car can weigh so little? Or what an artificial heart valve is made of? If so, this is the degree for you.<br/><br/>Look around you - everything you see is made from carefully designed materials. To build a better world, we need experts who can enhance these materials, making them stronger, more efficient, and less wasteful. As a materials scientist and engineer, you’ll drive innovation that shapes the future. Join us to learn how.<br/><br/>Our materials department was the first in the UK, and studying with us means learning from a team with deep expertise in both research and industry. Our work influences a wide range of innovations - from the design of Formula 1 tyres to the composites used in aeroplanes and luggage. We’re proud to be home to several fellows of the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering.<br/><br/>Ready to shape the future?<br/><br/>You’ll build a strong understanding of fundamental engineering concepts such as mechanics, design, materials and mathematical modelling. At the same time, you’ll develop the practical, collaborative skills all engineers need.<br/><br/>Everything you learn will be applied to a design project which addresses one of the key challenges identified by the UK Government – such as an aging society, clean growth and the future of mobility.<br/><br/>By the time you graduate, you’ll be prepared to tackle the global issues facing our society. Materials engineer, research scientist, patent examiner – a degree in materials science and engineering can take you in a range of directions, where you’ll have the chance to make big changes.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)
Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
GCSE/National 4/National 5
A minimum of five GCSE passes to include English at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required.
Extended Project
We consider applications from students offering an EPQ and may make an alternative offer to include three A levels, one grade lower than our usual requirement, along with a specific grade in the EPQ.
A level
A,B,B
Including at least two subjects of Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry Excluded subjects - General Studies and Critical Thinking. Please note: You will also be excepted to achieve a Pass grade in the practical endorsement for any of the following A levels - Biology, Chemistry, Physics - if taken with one of the Awarding Bodies in England.
