本课程将帮助您完成学位课程后为进一步的学习做准备，例如，获得博士学位的博士学位。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。在第二年末，该课程与核心学位分开。然后，您将学习为我们的博士研究生开发的模块，并完成两个单独的研究项目（四年级一个人在一个研究小组中工作），以使用研究级设备来培养实用技能。该课程涉及每年与行业的接触。这可能意味着参观制造工厂，与劳斯莱斯等全球性公司合作进行的项目以及暑期实习。<br>材料（荣誉
This course will help you prepare for further study after finishing your degrees, for example doctoral research leading to a PhD, or an alternative career as, for example, a patent attorney. We'll give you a solid grounding in the science of materials and show you how to apply your knowledge to problems in the real world. You'll learn how to tailor the structure, composition and processing of materials to meet design requirements. At the end of year two this course separates from the core degree. You'll then study modules developed for our PhD students and complete two individual research projects (the year four one working in a research group) to build up practical skills with research-level equipment. The course involves contact with industry in every year. This could mean visits to manufacturing plants, projects with global companies such as Rolls-Royce and summer placements.
