Study Materials Sciences in the United
Kingdom
Materials Science Centre University of Manchester
If you are considering a career in
Materials Sciences, come and study this exciting and stimulating subject
in a 6* rated centre at The University of Manchester, the United Kingdom's most
popular University, receiving more applications for undergraduate study
than any other British University.
Have you ever wondered what materials are required to
make a Formula 1 nosecone resist impact during a crash (see image left)
or if you want to use the very latest techniques and state-of-the-art
scientific equipment to better understand the properties of materials
(see image right) then Materials Science may be for you.
We have the largest and most broadly based University
Materials activity in the Western world,
bringing together over 60
members of academic staff and expertise in a number of disciplines,
directly focused to the needs of industry. We
will aim to teach you to handle the world's physical and technological
resources in ways that are creative and responsible. In the most recent
Research Activity Exercise, we were rated at 6*.
The purpose-built Materials Science Centre
occupies an excellent and
well-equipped building with its own lecture theatres, laboratories,
state-of-the-art equipment, computer suite and common room. We have
extensive collaboration with industrial partners, including Smith and
Nephew, Johnson and Johnson, 3M, Corus, British Aerospace, Rolls Royce
and many others. If you choose an MEng in Materials Science and
Engineering or Biomedical Materials Science, you can take either of
these options with industrial experience where you spend your third year
in a company of your choosing, putting into practice the concepts you
have studied and gaining valuable experience of management and
organisational behaviour.
The Centre has an international reputation for
teaching and research in materials, with long established links to major
institutions worldwide. We have recently enhanced our experimental
facilities, which combined with the wide-ranging expertise means that we
can provide an excellent environment for teaching and research.
Why Manchester?- All students with 3 grade A's at A-Level
(or equivalent) receive a bursary of £1, 500 and those with 3 grade
B's at A-Level (or equivalent) receive £1, 000.
