材料科学与工程学院致力于改善现有材料并开发新材料。该领域的工程师了解如何操纵材料，以受益于工程，制造和卫生方面的技术进步。工程的这一分支将化学，物理和生物学与数学以及机械，化学和电气工程原理结合在一起。因此，材料科学工程师具有很高的市场价值。除学习数学和物理基础知识外，UNSW文凭课程的学生还将获得工程设计和编程方面的实践经验。所有特定学科的文凭课程都相当于第一年的本科课程，但学生会获得更多的支持，并且还将具备学术和英语技能。这将确保学生有一个坚实的基础，以他们进入UNSW Sydney的第二年的旅程。
Material Science and Engineering focuses on improving existing materials and developing new ones. Engineers in this area understand how to manipulate materials to benefit technological advances in engineering, manufacturing and health. This branch of engineering combines chemistry, physics and biology with mathematics and the principles of mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. As a result, Material Science Engineers are highly marketable.<br>UNSW Diploma students will gain hands-on experience in engineering design and programming in addition to learning the fundamentals of mathematics and physics. All discipline-specific diploma courses are equivalent to first year undergraduate courses but students receive added support and will also be equipped with academic and English skills. This will ensure students have a strong basis for their journey into second year at UNSW Sydney.
