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.
