Overview
What you'll study
The Advanced Materials Science and Engineering MSc course at Queen Mary University of London is interdisciplinary in nature and involves a combination of theoretical and practical approaches. You’ll explore the latest experimental techniques in engineering, examine the characteristics, structure and properties of materials in greater depth and have the option to explore modules ranging from Manufacturing Processes, to Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, Nanocomposites, Polymer Synthesis, Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Engineering.
You'll work on your research project alongside your taught module classes throughout the academic year and work within one of our materials-based research groups in the School of Engineering and Materials Science. Your research project may be focused in the fields of ceramics, polymers, composites, elastomers, functional materials or manufacturing technologies. Your cutting-edge research can lead to publication at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
Not only is this MSc’s curriculum closely aligned to current industry needs, you can gain significant practical experience in our world-class processing facilities, including the NanoVision Centre for Advanced Microscopy, combining high resolution imaging with structural, chemical and mechanical analysis.
