In our core undergraduate degree, youll discover the underlying principles of materials science, and how these are applied across materials engineering situations. You can keep your course general or tailor your degree in later years with optional materials modules.<br/><br/>As well as lectures and tutorials, youll learn through experiencing real-world engineering situations with extensive practical work in important manufacturing processes and using the latest investigative equipment. You will also have the opportunity to interact with industry and gain valuable experience of the workplace. <br/><br/>It is possible to switch between the BEng and MEng (based on performance on the exams in the course) at the end of the second year.<br/><br/>Industry contact<br/>Over many years, we have developed close relationships with businesses across a broad range of industry sectors. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to explore opportunities in pretty much any sector that interests you through visits, placements and project work.<br/><br/>If you choose one of our MEng courses, in your third and fourth years you participate in our Industrial Training Programmes - three real-life projects defined by industry partners giving you an insight into how businesses approach engineering problem solving. Students selecting the research route undertake research projects instead of the Industrial Training programme.<br/><br/>This course is fully accredited by the IOM3, meaning it counts towards later professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
