Program Description

The MScTech program in Engineering Materials provides a comprehensive yet flexible study of the full range of materials, including ceramics, composites, metals, and polymers. It is designed for graduates wishing to acquire expertise in the design, selection, use and performance of modern materials:

Graduates with Science, Engineering, Technology or related backgrounds who wish to broaden their ranges of expertise
Graduates with Materials Science or Materials Engineering backgrounds who wish to extend specific aspects of their expertise
Graduates with Materials Science or Materials Engineering backgrounds who wish to update their expertise.

Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes

Please contact the School of Materials Science & Engineering for information.

Program Structure

The program consists of one year of full-time study (two sessions) or two years of part-time study (four sessions). This comprises 36 UOC of formal coursework plus 12 UOC of experimental andlor design project work (MATS6695 Materials Project). Initial enrolment in Session 1 is preferred, but entrance in Session 2 is permitted. All formal coursework is taught during work hours, although the project work may be undertaken with considerable flexibility in terms of time and location. Enrolment in formal coursework offered by Schools other than the School of Materials Science and Engineering is permitted, subject to the approval of the Head of School.

Course Selection

Note: UOC are per session. Courses MATS6605 and MATS6695 are full-year subjects and therefore 6UOC and 12UOC respectively.
