如果您没有工程学位的一般科学或数学背景，那么基础课程适合您。完成基础课程后，您将进入四年制的工程学硕士学位。我们将为您提供扎实的材料科学基础，并向您展示如何将您的知识应用于现实世界中的问题。您将学习如何调整材料的结构，组成和加工以满足设计要求。您可以在整个课程中保持学习的广泛性，或者在第二年之后专注于特定的材料。如果您已经对某个领域感兴趣，则可以从一开始就遵循专业知识，例如金属，航空航天材料和机械设计或材料工程。第一年，您将参加全球工程挑战赛。您必须与其他工程课程的学生合作，找到解决问题的创造性方法。该项
After successfully completing the foundation year, which has modules in mathematics, physics and chemistry, you can start the MEng degree.<br><br>In our core undergraduate degree, you'll discover the underlying principles of materials science, and how these are applied across materials engineering situations. You can keep your course general or tailor your degree with optional materials modules.<br><br>As well as lectures and tutorials, you'll learn through experiencing real-world engineering situations with extensive practical work in important manufacturing processes and using the latest investigative equipment.<br><br>In the first year, you'll take the Global Engineering Challenge. Working with students from other engineering courses, you'll have to find creative solutions to problems. The project looks at challenges faced by communities throughout the world. It's designed to develop you as a professional engineer and get you thinking about sustainable solutions.<br><br>If you enjoy a specific area of materials science, you may choose to switch to one of our more specialised courses before the end of the second year.<br><br>All MEng courses include a guaranteed five month paid industrial placement, which may be in the UK or abroad. This is a great way of getting additional experience and improving your CV.<br><br>In the third and fourth year of the MEng degrees, you'll take part in four Industrial Training Programmes, focusing on the areas of nuclear, glass, aerospace and advanced manufacturing. For each, there are small group seminars with industry experts and engineers, academic lectures and visits to industry sites and technology centres. You'll apply your materials science and engineering knowledge to analyse and solve a real current industrial problem.
