Materials Engineering
The objective of the Materials Engineering course is to provide
students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the design,
development, production and application of engineering materials
for gainful use by society. This objective is achieved through
detailed study of the relationships between the structure,
processing and properties of materials. The course is also
designed to provide training in effective communication, management
and teamwork skills, and the environmental sensitivity required
of modern engineers.
In their final year, students can choose a series of elective
subjects from a number of specialist areas: Materials Science
and Technology, Metallurgical Processing or Materials Manufacturing.Double degrees are also available.
