Undergraduate degrees in Materials Science and Engineering We design our courses to inspire and challenge. They're based on the latest developments in research and industry, to prepare you for the professional world. You are here Home Department of Materials Science and Engineering Undergraduate degrees in Materials Science and Engineering BEng/MEng Materials Science and Engineering Our core undergraduate degree - discover the underlying principles of Materials Science, and how this is applied across Materials Engineering situations. Keep your course general, with optional modules, or choose a more specialised course, as shown below, before the end of Year 2. Find out more Materials Science and Engineering with Foundation Year A foundation year for students who want to study engineering but don't meet the entry requirements to go straight into year one. Find out more BEng Materials Science and Engineering (Year in Industry) An identical course to the core Materials Science and Engineering degree, with the option to undertake industrial experience through a one-year placement at the end of Year 2. Find out more BEng/MEng Biomaterials Science and Engineering What happens when you put materials inside the body? Through the study of physical science, biology and engineering, you'll seek to find the answer, designing and developing better materials for use in healthcare applications. Find out more MEng Materials Science and Engineering (Research) Some Materials students decide they want to undertake further study after finishing their degrees, such as doctoral research leading to a PhD. This course includes modules developed for our PhD students, as well as two individual research projects. Find out more MEng Metallurgy Drawing on Sheffield's great history of metallurgy, you'll focus on the nature, properties and processing of metals as well as complete an industrial placement in the metals industry. Find out more MEng Materials Science with Nuclear Engineering Many challenges within nuclear technology are related to Materials - this course will give you an understanding of, and exposure to, the main industries and government laboratories involved in nuclear power in the UK.
