Overview

The Advanced Metallurgy (Distance Learning) programme from University of Sheffield is available to study by distance learning, over 2 years. The course content is similar to the face-to-face version of the course, and the end qualification is the same; it’s just the method of delivery that is different.

Key Features

The distance learning version of the course is only available to individuals either directly working in, or with the support of a metals/materials related industry.

This is important as your 60 credit project module will be directly related to this industry, and will require the necessary facilities to carry out the research.

This degree programme is fully accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3).
