Where your masters can take youOur graduates are in demand, in industry and academia, all over the world. Some are now leaders in their field. Many become researchers, teachers, professors and managers in industry, academia and research in the UK and abroad. Wherever your future lies, you'll develop invaluable skills in critical analysis, logical reasoning and strategic project development. Learn from our expertsOur courses are supported by our internationally recognised research. We are one of the largest materials departments in the UK. Our worldwide reputation is built on a strong collaborative ethos. We bring together experimental, theoretical and modelling methodologies to solve problems. Your projects will be based on original research conducted by the department. Our staff are research leaders who will teach you the latest discoveries and theories in their field. We're a member of eight interdisciplinary research centres within the University and have good links with industry. You’ll be challenged and stretched, and your degree will be highly respected. We encourage you to exploit opportunities for science and innovation at the boundaries between traditional disciplines. You'll be supported by our enthusiastic staff, whose broad activities include society membership and major international conferences. Our eight departmental research themes describe what we do: biomaterials and tissue engineering; ceramics; glasses, cements and waste immobilisation; magnetics; metallurgy; nanomaterials and nanoengineering; polymers and composites; surface engineering and tribology. Our graduates are in demand, in industry and academia, all over the world.Equipment and facilitiesWe have a range of tools and production facilities for materials processing, fabrication and testing, including wet chemical processing for ceramics and polymers, rapid solidification and water atomisation for nanoscale metallic materials, and extensive facilities for deposition of functional and structural coatings. Our unique thermomechanical compression and arbitrary strain path equipment is used for simulation of hot deformation. Excellent characterisation facilities include an array of microscopy and analysis equipment, x-ray facilities, and surface analysis techniques covering state-of-the-art XPS and SIMS. You'll also find laboratories for cell and tissue culture as well as facilities for measuring electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties. Our membership of the Kroto Research Institute and Nanoscience and Technology Centre enhances our capabilities in materials fabrication and characterisation, and we have a computer cluster for modelling from the atomistic through nano and mesoscopic to the macroscopic.
