Undergraduate courses
Our courses focus on three broad themes:
| Theme | Courses | UCAS codes | A-level subject requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| The study of the drivers of the technology of the future – Materials and their properties, manufacture, processing and applications. | MEng/BEng Aerospace Materials | H403/H401 | Maths & Physics |
| MEng/BEng Materials Science and Engineering | J500/JH51 | Two of Maths, Physics & Chemistry | |
| MEng/BEng Materials Science and Engineering (Biomaterials) | JH5P/JH56 | Two of Maths, Physics, Chemistry & Biology | |
| MEng Materials Science with Nuclear Engineering |
F2H8 | Two of Maths, Physics & Chemistry | |
| MEng Materials Science and Engineering (Modern Language) | J5R9 | Two of Maths, Physics & Chemistry (with German language, also requires 'B' in German A-level) | |
| MEng/BEng Materials Science and Engineering (Industrial Management) | FH21/FHF1 | Two of Maths, Physics & Chemistry | |
| MEng Metallurgy | J200 | Two of Maths, Physics & Chemistry | |
| If you are interested in studying any of our courses, but lack the appropriate science background, you may be suitable for our Foundation Year programme. | MEng Materials Science and Engineering with a Foundation Year | J501 | No more than one of Maths, Physics & Chemistry |
You can choose to study most of our courses over three or four years, leading to either a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or a Master of Engineering (MEng) qualification.
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) has accredited our Materials programmes.

Entry requirements
We have increased our entry requirements for BEng and Foundation Year courses starting in September 2013. These changes have been made in the University on-line prospectus and on the UCAS website. We are in the process of updating these in our departmental brochure and the University printed prospectus. To summarise, our standard offers at A-level will be:
MEng courses: AAB
BEng & Foundation Year courses: ABB
