材料科学与工程学位课程是一门精心计划的学术课程，可以满足行业和相关专业机构的特定要求，特别是MEng学位提供了通往特许工程师（CEng）地位的快速途径。材料科学与工程涵盖了材料的所有基本科学，工程和设计方面，它们的结构，特性，加工，在役行为和环境影响。材料是任何工程活动的中心，也是研发的核心，旨在提高性能，效率，可持续性并因此提高利润。材料的进步对英国和世界经济具有重要的战略意义。<br> <br>材料工程师和科学家参与了高科技工程的发展，例如航空航天，发电，汽车领域以及工业和消费品的所有领域。
The development of new and improved materials is at the heart of a huge range of technologies, from the objects we use every day, such as food packaging, to novel batteries and fuel cells to power electric vehicles, through to more advanced materials for biomedical applications, such as implants.Our Materials Science and Engineering degree will give you the opportunity to explore and deepen your knowledge and understanding of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of materials, their structure, properties, processing, in-service behaviour and environmental impact.At Loughborough, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering of materials, to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures and will be taught by world-leading academics whose influence extends outside of the lecture theatre. In year three, students will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of academic staff, potentially in collaboration with an industrial partner.Our degree prepares our students for careers in a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and sustainability, consumer goods, sports, and defence, and our graduates go on to work in large and small companies in the UK and internationally. Some remain in the Higher Education sector to continue their research into Materials Engineering.
